"There are fairies at the bottom of our garden..."Rose Fyleman's fairies live at the bottom of the garden, dance on summer nights, go a-marketing for a little fish and a coloured bird, and shake the chimney-smoke into shapes. Sweet, musical, and made to be read aloud, her verses taught a whole generation of children to look twice at an empty garden.
This Lightbound Library edition gathers Rose Fyleman's first two books of fairy poems-Fairies and Chimneys (1918) and The Fairy Flute (1921)-into one volume, behind an original painting by Jessica von Braun, published by Solocosmo Press.
