“There are fairies at the bottom of our garden!”

“A fairy went a-marketing— She bought a little fish.”

“I think that I shall never see a billboard lovely as a tree. Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I'll never see a tree at all.”

“Mice are nice.”

“The best game the fairies play, / The best game of all, / Is weaving spiders' webs for a ball.”

“If you meet a fairy, don't you be surprised.”

“I wish I were a bird, a robin, or a wren.”

“The shops are all lighted, the streets are all bright.”

“The trees are in their autumn beauty, The woodland paths are dry.”
