About This Book

A collection of short, rhyming children's poems that populate a fanciful world of fairies, elves, and small creatures. Scenes include moonlit dances, seaside frolics, garden games, and playful animal portraits, all rendered in light, sing-song verse. Recurring images of nature and domestic whimsy introduce gentle moral touches and humorous surprises. The pieces are brief, accessible, and shaped for reading aloud to young audiences.

The Fan-Tribe.

O far away by a tropic sea,

And near to a jungle dell.

Neath the scorching rays

Of the sun’s bright blaze,

The fan tribe Indians dwell.

No silken, satin or velvet gowns,

No laces do they possess,

But from year to year,

They always appear

In this fantastic dress.
