Customer Reviews

A lovely picture book.

The book contains reproductions of a collection of Cicely Mary Barker's watercolors of flower fairies. Each watercolor is a picture of a child or two represented as fairies of a particular flower. The flowers are beautifully rendered, and the fairy children are dressed in garments that resemble their own flowers. Each picture is accompanied by a poem. Ms. Barker used the children who attended her sister's kindergarten as models with the result that the children are charmingly drawn but perhaps a trifle too realistically for depictions of fairies. Still, it is a delightful book. Also, see Ms. Barker's Treasury of Flower Fairies for a companion book.
