Product Description
Cicely Mary Barker's original Flower Fairies books, first published in the 1920s, have been known and loved by generations. Like the pre-Raphaelite painters whom she so admired, Barker believed in re-creating the beauty of nature in art and drawing from life. Her Flower Fairies watercolors have a unique combination of naturalism and fantasy that no imitators have matched.
Each of Barker's four seasonal books features poems and full-color illustrations of at least 19 flowers that bloom during a particular season.

My children were intrigued July 24, 2006

This is a lovely and engaging, child-sized book, and my 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son were both engrossed for an entire reading, I think due equally to the detailed child-fairy characters and the focus on plants and nature. They were also quite pleased to note the garments on the fairies and elves that echo the features of the plants. I love it for the wonderful artwork ~ particularly the fairies that look most like my children :)

For those who are looking at branching into the world of art. This book is an excellent primer for some of the better quality work which is no longer around today. If you like this time period you can try other illustrators like Trina Schart Hyman, Edward-Burne Jones, or Alphonse Mucha. While all of Barker's artwork is not on this level, this book is and makes enjoyable eye-candy for the artist or artist-at-heart.
