If your heart is pure and your eyes are clear, and you come the one right day of the year, you'll see the wee Bush Folk, the little fairy people of the New Zealand woods.

Isabel M. Peacocke's 1922 children's book is a charming fantasy of native New Zealand fairy-lore. Sweet, lyrical, regional juvenile fantasy. Read it for a lovely storybook glimpse of the tiny magical folk of the bush, from an old-world antipodean nursery.
