Author: Jane Eayre Fryer
Mary Frances and Billy have been growing up, and with their growing, they have learned to love the great out-of-doors.
No, they haven't outgrown fairy folk, at least Mary Frances hasn't, for that is a part of this story-- how Feather Flop, the rooster, and Jack-in-the-Pulpit and Bouncing Bet, the fairies of the wood, helped teach her to garden. But in their study and work, Mary Frances and Billy learned more than that--they learned to appreciate what a wonderful amount of energy is expended by Mother Nature in growing one little plant wasted; and what pleasure there is in tilling the soil, and helping things grow!
The above is from the authors preface. The Mary Francis book series we written at the early stage of the last century. The are classic in nuture and fun for kids to read.
