A Fairy Went a-Marketing

A Fairy Went a-Marketing by Fyleman, Rose. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780140547511.

At a market, a fairy purchases riches found in nature. Then releases them for their own good or the good of others. A different season plays out with each stanza of Fyleman’s verse. Visually exquisite, this is a story to be savored by both parents and children, and is a great book to be shared in preschool story time. "The artist has created a fairy-world of beauty with animals, plants, reptiles and small details making each double-page spread a breathtaking scene. . . luminous." —Publishers Weekly "What makes this picture book exceptional are the exquisite illustrations." —School Library Journal
