Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes by Beatrix Potter

#history #writer

We have a little garden,
A garden of our own,
And every day we water there
The seeds that we have sown.

Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes, published in 1922, is a sequel to Beatrix Potter's first rhyme collection Appley Dapply's Nursery Rhymes. Like the previous book it contains material she had produced and collected over a period of many years. The Cecily Parsley sequence of illustrations, for example, were first made into a little booklet twenty-five years earlier in 1897.
