Summary "Told in the Twilight" by F. E. Weatherly is a collection of children's poems written during the late 19th century. This enchanting book features whimsical verses that explore themes of childhood, dreams, and the interplay between the comforting dusk and the world of imagination. Its poetic form, along with illustrations, serves to captivate the young audience, inviting them into a realm of wonder and reflection. The content of "Told in the Twilight" comprises a series of illustrated poems that convey various stories and moral lessons, often featuring children, animals, and elements of nature. Each piece, such as "Bell's Dream" and "The Old Picture-Book," presents vivid imagery and charming narratives that evoke nostalgia and sentimentality. Characters like Isabel, who navigates a fantastical trial in the sea, and Minnie, who dreams of selling her chicks, face light-hearted dilemmas that reflect broader truths about life and love. Through playful language and gentle humor, the book aims to instill values of empathy, imagination, and the significance of cherished memories, making it a delightful read for both children and the young at heart.
