This is the most popular of all the children's books by Elizabeth Gordon, illustrated by M. T. Moss. It was published early 20th century, with wonderful drawings of all the flowers we know, drawn as little children as well.I have restored all the illustrations very carefully, and I have fallen in love with all.Please take a look inside the book to see these charming drawings and the funny and educational poems that comes with them all.We see the flowers in the natural order, from early spring to winter and Christmas.Did I say that I love them all? I do, especially after working with each and every one of them for hours - but I must admit I have a couple of favorites!I love the drawing of the Pussy Willows, with the puffy little kittens on the branches - and what about the drawing of the Wild Rose? To me it is everything childhood and fantasy and flowers is all about.
