About: Vetplant Fairies

Southern Africa has the richest and most diverse grouping of succulents in the world. Vetplant Fairies is a collection of verse for children about indigenous succulents and the imaginary beings who live among them, written by two of our finest poets, Ingrid de Kok and Antjie Krog. Vetplant Fairies is beautifully illustrated in full colour by Fiona Moodie in the style of Fynbos Fairies, its hugely successful predecessor. The scientific name for each plant is included in this enchanting new classic.

URCHIN IMP (Euphorbia obesa)

I'm striped and round
I'm a sand urchin ball.
I'man imp, hut, hat
but that's not all

I lie among shards
and waxy plants
I hide behind stones
I'm there; then I'm not.

So ratitatat
on tortoise shell or rock
but your knock won't find me
in my stony habitat

I'm hide when you spy
I'm peek when you seek
I'm a small but truculent
hidden succulent.
