Flower Fairies of the Spring - Cicely Mary Barker

2020 Reprint of the 1923 Edition.  Full Color Illustrations of 24 Spring Flowers and their respective Fairies.  Full facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.  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. The book features poems and full-color illustrations of 24 Spring flowers and their guardian fairies.
