*A Child's Garden of Verses* (1919)

*The Flowers* (Robert Louis Stevenson)

All the names I know from nurse,

Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purse,

Bachelor's buttons, Lady's smock,

And the Lady Hollyhock

Fairy places, fairy things,

Fairy woods where the wild bee wings,

Tiny trees for tiny dames~

These must all be fairy names!

Tiny woods below whose boughs

Shady fairies weave a house,

Tiny tree tops, rose or thyme,

Where the braver fairies climb!

Fair are grown-up people's trees,

But the fairest woods are these,

Where if I were not so tall,

I should live for good and all.

~ Amy Millicent Sowerby~ English~ Children's Book Illustrator/Water Colour Artist~ b. in Northumberland, daughter of artist George Sowerby. She took a few courses in Art but was largely self taught in order to augment the family's finances. She and her sister Githa, collaborated on many children's books together. She was a highly regarded Illustrator throughout the U.K. and Europe~
