The seasons pass—from the snows of winter, through the promise of spring, the gentle heat of early summer, the richness of harvesttime and the melancholy splendor of autumn, to the ending of the year. Each mood of the changing seasons is captured in these sparkling and evocative poems by the late Eleanor Farjeon and in Jane Paton's charming and colorful illustrations.
