This is my entry for the May swap at the Cubby Hole. The words are from a Terry Pratchett story, but originate in a traditional child's skipping song
My mother said I never should
Play with the fairies in the wood
If I did, she would say
You naughty girl to disobey
Your hair won't grow, your shoes won't shine
You naughty little girl, you shan't be mine!
Really wonderful depth and shadow work in this Nigel. The art suits the rhyme perfectly - both inviting yet forboding and mysterious.
