The Fairies (Enhanced Edition‪)‬

First published in Ireland in 1850, William Allingham's "The Fairies" was instantly popular among Victorian children and has remained a standard in poetry anthologies ever since.


This delightful poem has been illustrated for today's audience by Julia Oleksiak and beautifully expressed by Nina Leone, a master of the spoken word.


The Fairies — with its combination of humour, fantasy, enchantment, and mischief — will weave its spell afresh each time it is read.


Up the airy mountain,

Down the rushy glen,

We daren't go a-hunting

For fear of little men...


Beware these fairies! They keep secrets. They cast spells. They cause mischief wherever they go.
