"Six delightful short pieces of varying character which, with their simplicity and economy of notes, clearly describe a series of tonal pictures. I commend them for their musical quality, combining melodic and harmonic appeal..."  Lance Dossor

All are accessible, fit beautifully under smaller hands and make attractive repertoire for recitals, exams or simply leisure. May be played as a suite or the pieces individually.
