“You’re far too soon;
The world’s too cold
For you, so small.”
So I was told.
But how could I go back to sleep?
I could not wait; I had to peep!

I mentioned
Cicely Mary Barker (1895-1973)
When I was in the business of selling second hand books I couldn’t
get enough of these books. So popular even the reprints .
She was a talented artist and they appealed to a wide audience. Winter Fairies here.

The Acorn Fairy:
‘To English folk the mighty oak
Is England’s noblest tree;
Its hard-grained wood is strong and good
As English hearts can be.’
