pickI love this edition! Illustrations by Georgie McAusland bring this familiar piece to life in a new light and capture every ounce of fall magic I was hoping for! #scarathlon #skeletoncrew @Emilymdxn
My favorite poems in this book (which was 64 pages rather the 208 page book this tag is for) were the ones which were about the sweet release of “sleep.” I also liked the use of the color purple when talking about death. Reminded me of The Familiar.
"Damsons and bilberries, / Taste them and try: / Currants and gooseberries, / Bright-fire-like barberries, / Figs to fill your mouth, / Citrons from the South, / Sweet to tongue and sound to eye; / Come buy, come buy."
