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 Send Off.

Now ye merry madcap elves,

Trim the bonny boat yourselves;

Weigh the anchor, loose the sail;

So ’twill catch the favoring gale,

Then away with songs to greet

Every other craft you meet;

Scattering joy on every hand,

From the shores of Elfin-Land.
