A sequel to William Roscoe's 'The Butterfly's Ball.' Catherine Ann Dorset (1752-1834) was a composer of children's poems, and she often wrote with her sister, Charlotte (1749-1806). The present work, published anonymously, is her best known work. Some thought it was better than the William Roscoe work.
