About the book (from the dust jacket)
THIS BOOK tells of the adventures of six-year-old Robbie in the Fairy’s garden. The descriptions of the plants and little creatures inhabiting the garden are factual and the visits of the little boy take place in the author’s own garden. Much fantasy and charm are added by the use of the Fairy’s poems and songs. “Have Fun with Herbs”, and “My Garden Gate is on the Latch” were written by the same author
