When in 1923 Cicely Mary Barker created the first of the Flower Fairies books, this unassuming artist could have had little idea of the immense popularity that the Flower Fairies series would enjoy. Today, her originality and skill as an artist continue to charm and delight a world-wide readership. The Complete Book of the Flower Fairies brings together all of her fairy illustrations and poems in one volume, and offers a new opportunity to enjoy Barker's exceptional work.
