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 Bee’s Mistake.

A little girl by the name of Rose,

In a quiet corner sat.

When a honey-bee sailed round and round

The rim of her garden-hat.

Said the bee, “ah me! so sweet a flower

I haven’t beheld to-day!”

And he came so near to the pretty Rose,

That she screamed as she ran away.
