Edith M. Thomas is recognized widely as a poet whose verse is most felicitous, if of rather narrow range. "In Sunshine Land" songs of the birds, messages from the flowers and trees, as well as many beautifully delicate touches which declare her appreciation of the glory of common things. Some of the poems were written especially for this volume, others have appeared before in print. Illustrations, mostly in the form of vignettes, are by Katharine Pyle.-Philadelphia Press [1894]
