First edition of an unusual Pogany-illustrated title. A collection of charming poems depicting life through the eyes of a young boy named Jimmie, by internationally recognized ballad collector and authority on folk music, Helen Hartness Flanders. Issued by the American publisher of A.A. Milne's When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six, this was evidently an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of those two volumes of poetry for children. Pogany's charming pen-and-ink illustrations are a highlight of the book.
