The Fair Maids of February Stand in the snow My next book Tales From the Folly 48 Cicely did not finish this Fairy book on Winter She did make drawings of the trees and flowers that make up the winter season The editor took these drawings and used poems from other collections she had to make up the Winter book so all 4 seasons have a voice. Winter is one of my favorite times of year I m glad this book is here I think these little books are beautiful and the poems are fun to read It is a great little book to enhance the mood of the season and remember the plants that make them up I do want to collect all these books The niece saw I had this book and she wanted to read this with me for old times.
