Christmas Roses

_Christmas Roses_ is a collection of short poems written and illustrated by Lizzie Lawson and Robert Ellice Mack in the late 19th century. Although the collection has remained largely undiscovered by the majority of people, it is a wonderful selection that can hold its own among the best of children’s poetry. From the book’s title poem about the beauty of the “Christmas Roses”; to a young daughter’s anticipation of her “Father’s Boat”; to a child putting away her toys in preparation for “Bedtime”—this collection incorporates the imaginative curiosity of childhood and expresses it in a rhyming, rhythmic style that will surely be the delight of children and adults alike.


This ebook is complete with beautiful, enhanced illustrations to accompany each poem, and it is formatted to capture all the magic of the original book.
