Flower Fairies of the Spring by Barker, Cicely Mary

First published in the 1920s, Cicely Mary Barker's original Flower Fairies books have been loved for 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. Now newly rejacketed in the style of bestseller Fairyopolis, this new edition makes a perfect gift for a new generation of Flower Fairy fans. The book features poems and full-color illustrations of over 20 flowers and their guardian fairies.Author: Cicely Mary BarkerPublisher: Warne Frederick & CompanyPublished: 05/01/1991Pages: 56Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 0.35lbsSize: 5.60h x 4.50w x 0.50dISBN: 9780723237532Audience: Ages 4-8Review Citation(s): Hornbook Guide to Children 01/01/1991 - Recommended, SatisfactoryAbout the AuthorCicely Mary Barker was born in Croydon, South London in 1895 and died in 1973.
