Since their introduction in 1923, the Flower Fairies books written and illustrated by the author Cicely Mary Barker, have enchanted readers across the globe.
Exploring the world of enchantment and magic, The Fairies which were originally based on real children from Cicely’s sister’s nursery follow the mystical encounters, and environments shared by each Fairy.
A central tenet to Cicely’s work was that each fairy and their respective illustration be accompanied by a poem or verse to bring their character to life – with over 170 illustrations having been released for each respective Fairy, the success of the series is undeniable.
Central to the story of each sparkling Fairy is that their creation is based on the origination of a Flower sprouting – it is the role of each Fairy to preserve their dedicated flower, assuring it has a plentiful supply of sunshine, water, and love. Each Fairy is unique in appearance distinguished by their own special illustration, and the role they hold in the magical marshes, trees, and gardens that they occupy.
Presented in this beautiful 6-part commemorative collection are the stunning summer fairies. With this Collection, we are giving you an exclusive invite to explore the summer flower fairies in incredible full colour detail.
