Two children set off through a fairyland of Old Japan in search of the wondrous Flower, a quest told in flowing verse, adorned with the beauty and mystery of the East.

Alfred Noyes's 1907 collection leads with the title fantasy-poem, a dreamlike children's quest, alongside other verse. Lyrical, imaginative, beautifully wrought. Read it for a graceful long fantasy in verse from the poet of 'The Highwayman', a shimmering fairy-tale journey through an enchanted Japan of the imagination.
