    <body><![CDATA[I found this book for $2 at McKays and I really like having it around.  The illustrations are beautiful!  The poems leave a little something to be desired, but the book itself is also very nice - silver gilt edged pages and a fabulous slightly padded hardcover really make this a wonderful coffee table book.  I am keeping it handy for that magical day when I actually have time to get some embroidery done.<br/><br/>My favorite image from this book is the Thistle fairie.  This particular fairie has a wonderful play sword made from a thistle leaf.<br/><br/>The only poem that really struck me as memorable was The Song of the Blackberry Fairy:<br/>&quot;...I'll tear your dress, and cling, and tease,<br/>And scratch your hands and arms and knees.<br/>I'll stain your fingers and your face,<br/>And then I'll laugh at your disgrace...&quot;]]></body>
