Flower fairy

THE SONG OF*THE CANTERBURY BELL FAIRY

Bells that ring from ancient towers  -Canterbury Bells
Give their name to summer flowers Canterbury Bells!
Do the flower-fairies, playing,
Know what those great bells are saying?
Fairy, in your purple hat,
Little fairy, tell us that!

“Naught I know of bells in towers–Canterbury Bells!
Mine are pink or purple flowers–Canterbury Bells!
When I set them all a-swaying,
Something, too, my bells are saying;
Can’t you hear them–ding-dong-ding
Calling fairy-folk to sing?”

I am a long time fan of Cicely Mary Barker’s Flower Fairies books, so I was very happy when I found a Canterbury Bell Fairy costume for Isabella.   Dressed in her purple fairy dress and flower top hat she will be the cutest fairy ever!  Maybe her Little Nanny will sew a pair of purple fairy slippers to complete the outfit.
