FYNBOS AND FAIRIES INSPIRED BY NATURE

If you live in the beautiful city of Cape Town, perhaps you'll know that the Table Mountain National Park boasts a phenomenal 1 500 fybos species. This alone is a reason to pick up a copy of Antjie Krog and Fiona Moodie’s book - Fynbos Fairies.  but this book is not just for nature lovers, its also a fantastical celebration our rich fairy life!

The book is filled with breathtakingly beautiful illustrations that are delicate, imaginative, striking, and even believable.  The poetry pays homage of the natural wonders of the world; and for a parent its wonderful to see these poems and illustrations capture the attention and love of a young child.

Arum Lily Fairy

Lend an ear to the Arum lily,
Hear its silence, if that’s not silly,

Touch your cheek to the lily flower;
It’s always cool, despite the hour;

Dip your nose in the lily funnel,
Breathe the depth of deepest tunnel,

Tap light at its yellow tip
To let, through your hand, a fairy slip.
