City and country children alike will enjoy this reissue of a story about a little girl who spends happy hours in a dull backyard, using her imagination to create a magic world with an empty tomato can and puny dandelion plant. Delicate illustrations show young Twig, shrunk down to fairy size, playing with her friends Elf, Mr. and Mrs. Sparrow, and the horse in the alley.
