Die Wasserbabys: Tom und der Hummertopf

Jessie Willcox Smith

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care

Jessie Willcox Smith

Two children playing with toys (title-page vignette)

Jessie Willcox Smith

The children were nestled all snug in their beds

Jessie Willcox Smith

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter

Jessie Willcox Smith

Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!

Jessie Willcox Smith

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew

Jessie Willcox Smith

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back

Jessie Willcox Smith

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath

Jessie Willcox Smith

He looked like a peddler just opening his pack
