Our Early Wild Flowers, by
Harriet L. Keeler and illustrated by Mary Keffer and Eloise P.
Luquer, is another favorite in the library at Corgyncombe. The
book is open to bloodroot.
Diane found some beautiful bloodroot in
the wild to photograph.
The above book, The Flower
Gatherers, by Jane Jay Fuller, is open to Chapter
Second. 'Tis about a group of children who learn from Uncle John
about the wild flowers throughout the months that are in flower.
The week before one of their lessons they gather every wild
flower they find which they take to Uncle John to identify. In
Chapter Third, as the moon is rising in the east, the children
deliver May baskets to Uncle John's door. Uncle John was very
touched and he said "So you have been Maying, and did not
forget poor, old Uncle John!"
Cock Robin, a beautifully
illustrated children's book.
