When I was very young, my Auntie June gave me this book, My mother read to me from it, as I poured over the beautiful, whimsical illustrations by Garth Williams. It seeped into my soul. #FolkloreThursday #childrenslit #inspiration #thegiftofmakebelieve
The illustration is by Meg Whalberg, for Rose Fyleman’s “A Fairy Went A-Marketing.”
As a child, my mother (a teacher and poetry lover) read to us from the Childcraft series, circa 1949. The poem tells of a fairy, who releases the creatures she buys. #folklorethursday
