Cicely Mary Barker - Author
ISBN 9780723266020
First published in the 1920s, the ‘Flower Fairy’ books by Cicely Mary Barker have delighted generations of children with their exquisite illustrations and engaging poems. In ‘Flower Fairies of the Spring’ we meet twenty charming fairies including the Bluebell Fairy, the Daffodil Fairy and the Primrose Fairy. Each fairy encourages us to look at nature and learn to appreciate the true beauty and wonder of the ‘ordinary’ world around us.
Я, когда учил это, даже и не знал, что к классике приобщаюсь. Хотя некоторые стихи помню уже (почти) 20 лет:
Look Up!
Look up, look up, at any tree!
There is so much for eyes to see:
Twigs, catkins, blossoms; and the blue
Of sky, most lovely, peeping through
Between the leaves, some large, some small,
Some green, some gold before their fall;
Fruits you can pick; fruits out of reach;
And little birds with twittering speech;
And, if you’re quick enough, maybe
A laughing fairy in the tree!
