The fairy flute by Rose Fyleman
"The fairy flute by Rose Fyleman" is a collection of children’s poems written in the early 20th century. The book revels in fairies and everyday magic, offering playful lore, gentle advice, and nature-rich scenes that invite young readers to notice enchantment in gardens, fields, and city streets. The verses show how to greet fairies, describe their dances and music, and reveal traces of them at dawn, in orchards, and along rainy lanes.
Brief tales introduce a fairy tailor, a cat who is really a prince, a canary who was once a singing fairy, witches and a goblin out junketing, and “willow princesses” swaying in the trees. Set pieces include a green loch where fairies bathe, a skylark ride, a moonlit voyage in a glass boat, a fairy ball, and the magical flute whose tune charms birds, flowers, and townsfolk. Sprinkled through are lullabies, hints and rules, comic turns (a child’s temper “blows out” the moon), and closing pieces where fairies complain about stolen mushrooms and give thanks to kind gardeners—blending wonder, warmth, and light-hearted morals.
