A few books: Illustrated by Frances Tyrrell:

Kate's Castle


This is the castle that Kate built, and in it can be
found the dreams of every child who
has ever spent a sandy, sun-filled day at the beach.

The Huron Carol


"' Twas in the moon of wintertime when
all the birds had fled ..."
So begins Canada's most beautiful Christmas carol.
Its writer, Jean de Brebeuf (1593-1649), was a
Jesuit missionary who lived and worked among the
Huron Indians for twenty-two years.
Although Father de Brebeuf was killed during an
Iroquois raid, the carol was kept alive in
the Huron language for over one hundred years
before it was translated into French.
The English words were written in 1926 by J.E. Middleton.

  1. How delightful - what a lovely bog. Thank you! I am working on the third fairy book now.

    Jessie Wilcox Smith is one of my favorite illustrators but before your post I had never seen her photograph.

    You have made beautiful pages for us to enjoy.
