The Complete Book of the Flower Fairies: Eighth Post (Wayside)

The Complete Book of the Flower FairiesI know that Cicely Mary Barker did her drawings first and then wrote the verses, but I’ve always liked that usually you couldn’t tell. In Flower Fairies of the Wayside there are two poems where it’s really obvious - one with a snail and one with a grasshopper. That’s really too bad because part of why you can tell is that they aren’t very good verses, but both illustrations are great.
