Enhanced with brilliant illustrations, offers an in-depth look at Flower Fairies through a review of what they look like, the special clothes they wear, the different jobs they do, and the fun games they play when they have time off from watching their flowers.
Cicely Mary Barker was the illustrator who created the famous Flower Fairies; those ethereal smiling children with butterfly wings. As a child she was influenced by the works of the illustrator Kate Greenaway, whom she assiduously copied in her formative years. Her principal influence, however, was the artwork of the Pre-Raphaelites.
