Books with title Wild Flower Children: The Little Playmates of the Fairies

Excerpt from Wild Flower Children: The Little Playmates of the FairiesBut no matter where you go, across the sands of the desert, or to the tops of the tallest mountain peaks, there are always wild flowers of most delicate beauty growing alone, but not lonely, never drooping or complaining, but brightening their own little spot because God put them there.In the North, on a railroad trip that I once took in the late May-time, I noticed that the roadsides were painted in a beautiful blending of rose and purple, and I wondered what little artist was doing it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Birds are only another expression of God's love, and we are told that not even a sparrow shall fall to the ground without the notice of the Father.Birds are poetry come to life and set to music. If you should stand at the edge of a forest at sundown and hear the birds singing their good-night songs, hear the sleepy little notes grow fainter and fainter until the silence came,—then when the dusk had deepened, you should hear the night birds begin their plaintive songs, you would realize what a different place our beautiful world would be without birds.Even in great cities we have always some birds. The saucy little sparrow, who comes so boldly begging crumbs at your window, likes the cities best.Only very thoughtless people, or those who do not understand, would harm or frighten a bird.They are real little people, and I am sure that when you have come to know them you will love them as much as you have learned to love the Flower Children.The publishers and the author have received so many letters from parents commending Flower Children for its instructive features, and from children, demanding "more" delightful play-mates, that they offer "Bird Brothers and Sisters," believing that "The little playmates of the Flower Children" will prove as welcome visitors as "The Little Cousins of the Fields and Garden."The author and the artist wish to thank the children for their many expressions of interest and for their loyal support.

The Scottish author, Elizabeth Gordon, explains that this is a book of the little brothers and sisters of the Flower Children (earlier book by the author) who live in the woods and fields and are the little playmates of the fairies. It is one of the Volland Nature Children Series of books. The Volland Ideal is that "books for children should contain nothing to cause fright, suggest fear, glorify mischief, excuse malice or condone cruelty". The book contains simple poems with wonderful, colorful, fanciful illustrations.

Paperback edition. Published originally in 1912, this charming collection of bird poems and full-color illustrations captures the child in each of the 84 birds included in the book. From Rooster to Lyre, the birds are each depicted as part child and part bird. This classic children's book, along with its predeccessor companion Flower Children, is the perfect gift for any child curious about the natural world.

Sir Rooster is a noisy chap,He wakes you from your morning nap;He sleeps but little all night through,Crows at eleven, one and two.Brimming with antique charm, these fanciful verses and color illustrations from a century ago depict eighty-five varieties of birds. The winsome images portray men, women, and children as sparrows, storks, crows, penguins, and other familiar and exotic species. Each of the accompanying rhymes comments on the bird's habits and appearance.

This book is restored from the original children's book from the early 20th century. It has 87 wonderful funny and sweet drawings of birds drawn as children as well, and for each drawing of a bird there is a little poem about the bird.I have taken great care to make the restoration of the earlier prints as they would look if Elizabeth Gordon and T.M.Moss had had the better printing possibilities we have today, without spoiling the drawings wonderful charm.
