January

Fairy of the winter day
when you fly, fly away
Go you to some invisible realm
where icicles won’t melt
nor dreams foretell
secrets of the fairy
hidden in flight.

‘Fairy of the Winter Day’, S. K. Lindeman

February

Butterflies dancing in midnight, mist apple rain
Unveiled to each sparkling dew, lovers smile again…
Sprites merrily seeking shining heart
Her beauty so youthful, with azure lighted curls, soft shimmery worlds
She fills the halls of greatest of storytellers
Painted, etched in all eternal sight, each curled azure opaque light.

‘Almonds Light’, Deborah Shepard

August

Soon did she lift a lum’nous wing
As fairy tune danced on,
A gentle breeze enveloped her,
She shimmered, then was gone.

Bluer than the bonnets fair
That in the springtime bloom,
Bluer than the berries round,
Away the fairy’s gloom.

‘Broken Wing’, Dorothea Barth

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – George Lucas is tackling his first musical film.

‘Not before time,’ says Myrea Pettit Fairies World,‘I stood on the Fourth Plinth in London’s Trafalgar Square and told the world about The Messenger. George Lucas will create a stronger message about the power of the Fairies, a most important element that the script features.’

The untitled computer-animated film is in preproduction at Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch production facility in Marin County, north of San Francisco. Plot details are locked tighter than the plans for the Death Star.

REWARD FRED – FIND HAROLD GAGE ARTIST – and  enlighten us all, thanks Myrea.

I have an original work by an artist named Harold Gage.  It was done in the mid to early 1920’s.  My Grandfather worked for a company named Thomas Cook and Sons that dealt with travel.  He came to know Harold Gage through his work.  Mr. Gage gave my grandfather a painting that was to be used as the design for a children’s book by an author named Abbie Phillips Walker.  The title which is included in the painting is Sandman’s Stories of Drusilla Doll.  Can you tell me anything about this artist?

Fred Fawcett,
Layfayette, OR USA

Thankyou for your reply.  I would appreciate you putting this on your weblog.  I saw Harold Gage’s name as the result of a Google search for something else completely unrelated.  It was the only other reference to his name other than my picture that I’ve ever seen.  When my son next visits, I’ll have him take a picture of the picture and send you a copy.  Thanks again for your help.
Fred
