I found a very old poetry book, one that I had as a child. It's title is 'The Silver Torch Series', 'The Jingle Book', compiled by Lavinia Derwent and it was first published in January 1939. This was one of my favourites, The Fairy Dressmaker. A little fairy dressmaker Lives in a woodland dell; A bramble thorn her needle is, Her thimble --- a bluebell. She gathers up the petals shed By every flower that grows ---- The daisy,and the columbine, The pansy, and the rose. She stitches them with spider's thread To fairy gowns and things; For buttons she puts tiny seeds, And grasses green for strings. And fast her magic needle flies, As long as it is light, For every fairy lady needs A new gown every night. Charlotte Druitt Cole.
