HOW THESE LEGENDS CAME TO BE WRITTEN DOWN

Long, long ago there lived a little Old Elf who was older than any of the Elves could count. 
He had a long white beard, and wore big spectacles made for him specially by the Honesty Flower (pic.)
Description: I have a feeling that the cover of this book was removed not long (thank goodness ) before I purchased it.  
I have placed the front page also on the file beneath the cover picture.
There is a beautiful little adage to the front page
   " Legends - which form the wreaths that frame the portraits of the Flowers. "
Notes: A wonderful book, with many illustrations and wonderful words.
