"I received a Flower Fairies calendar when I was young and saved all of the art from it, because I loved it so much. I was ecstatic when I found this book, which is a compilation of many smaller books that Cicely Barker created. Barker was a Victorian age artist and poet.
The book is separated into categories (of the original books)--Spring Flowers, Summer Flowers, etc. Each page features a particular flower with it's fairy, and a poem about the flower. Barker does a beautiful job with the details--they were considered equal to "botanist" standards at the time (since things were drawn more than photographed in her time). The fairies are beautiful Victorian children, scaled to size, with a set of wings and clothes made from parts of the plant. The poetry, while not the best I've ever read, is sweet and often clever.
If you have a little girl or ever loved fairies yourself, this is a great book to have. The artwork is not like some of the freakish fantasy fanatic stuff that you usually think of. And actually, even my boys (ages 2-8) don't mind me reading this to them. The lyrical text always grabs their attention, and they love finding plants that they recognize."
