<\/div>\n
The book I am looking for is one my mum used to read as a child. It had a collection of books and poems. She had it in the 1950s but I don’t know when it was published.<\/div>\n
She thought it was called Fireside Tales, but this could be wrong as the book cover came off. She remembers there being fairies and elves on the inside cover.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One of the stories was called “Fireside concert”.<\/div>\n
Fireside concert is a story about a fireplace and the tools. When the fire is just about to fall asleep, one of the tools says let\u2019s have a concert, so one by one they do a little dance or something fun before they go to sleep.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Another was “Little grey mouse”<\/div>\n
She said there was a story about a thread-bare Little mouse. I am not sure if that is the same story or the title of another one.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are 2 poems she remembers. I don’t know the tites but she remembers the words.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First one:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

“Closed are the story books on the shelf<\/p>\n

The teddy bear’s fast asleep<\/div>\n
The sun has gone from a darkening sky<\/div>\n
And stars through the window peep<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So off we go to the land of Nod<\/div>\n
Down winding lullaby lane<\/div>\n
With the night light fairies to accompany us<\/div>\n
Till morning comes again<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And it that wonderful land of Nod<\/div>\n
Are things that bring delight<\/div>\n
So hurry along or we’ll be too late<\/div>\n

Good night little ones, goodnight”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Second one is about a teapot I only have a small part:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“neat and round and brown am I, merry little fellow, patchwork cosy on my head, red green and yellow. Gather round the table now, draw the curtains tight, fireside is the place for me, on a winter\u2019s night.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I would be so grateful for any help finding this book as it would mean the world to mum to have a copy. We have been looking for about 40 years now!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
