You have only just been made
In the starry meadows.
Is your little heart afraid
Of the storms and shadows?

    I love her. She published one of my favourite childhood books- ‘Blossom: A Fairy Story’, which I’d almost forgotten until I saw this post!

      Her fairies are beautiful too, but I like her wingless girls best.

    Aw, these are so pretty. Are they illustrations to something, or just stand-alone artwork?

    • Skylark said:

      They were published in picture books with accompanying poems, but it was more like the poems described the art than the other way around.
