From the dustjacket:
"Miss Rosamond Praeger is well-known as a sculptress. Her charming little figure "The Philosopher" finds a place in many a home. She is specially sensitive and successful in her portrayal of children. These poems prove how sure is her touch and how sympathetic her understanding both of old and young, of human kind, and of County Down where she has lived most of her life. The pencil, crayon and wash drawings have been chosen by the publisher from a rough sketch book."
