Flower Fairies Of The Summer

The Song Of The Poppy Fairy:

The green wheat's a-growing,
The lark sings on high;
In scarlet silk a-glowing,
Here stand I.

The wheat's turning yellow,
Ripening for sheaves;
I hear the little fellow
Who scares the bird-thieves.

Now the harvest's ended,
The wheat-field is bare;
But still, red and splendid,
I am there.

This beautiful new edition recaptures the charm of the original edition of the 1920s. Words and pictures by Cicely Mary Barker present the Summer fairies and the special flowers they sing to.
