Poems for Children and The Children's Bells Eleanor Farjeon




Poems for Children 1951
and
The Children's Bells 
illustrated by Peggy Fortnum 1957
Eleanor Farjeon

Almost any collection of children's poems will include one or more from Eleanor Farjeon.  She was a prolific writer of children's stories and plays and poetry.  I was unaware until recently that the beautiful hymn "Morning has Broken" was penned by her!

Her poems are so wonderful- at once playful, sweet, childish, and intelligent.
