Flower Fairies of the Garden (Flower Fairies) 2 reviews

Warne, 1991
Revisit the Garden From Your Armchair
I love Cicely Mary Barker's work. The drawings are botanically accurate, with a subtle artistic softness that makes them very pleasurable. I've been an avid gardener for over 15 years. Working in the garden regularly, you see the flowers, feel the seasons, and become part of the cycle of nature. The art and poetry in Flower Fairies of the Garden captures the essence of that experience. ...

Flower Fairies of the Autumn2 reviews
Cicely Mary Barker
Hippocrene Books, 1976
Beautiful Drawings
For those who are looking at branching into the world of art. This book is an excellent primer for some of the better quality work which is no longer around today. If you like this time period you can try other illustrators like Trina Schart Hyman, Edward-Burne Jones, or Alphonse Mucha. While all of Barker's artwork is not on this level, this book is and makes enjoyable eye-candy for the ...

Same faires in the all the small books
Beautiful book - I am painting a mural for my daughter's room and wanted to get all the images possible so I bought all the books by this author thinking I was getting a menagerie. But I wasted $ on shipping both ways when I had to send them back upon seeing the smaller tree, flowers, and seasons books were all put together in one place. Just wanted others to know that this large hardback pretty ...

The Flower Fairies Alphabet Coloring Book (Flower Fairies)7 reviews
Cicely Mary Barker
Warne, 1994
Great for Hours of Fun
My daughters and niece play together frequently. They are ages four, five, and seven. I bought extra books because they all wanted to color in the first one. I didn't think this would hold the seven year olds interest, but it has. The fairies are beautiful, just like Cicely Mary Barker's artwork, and there is a lot of variety. I like the idea of the alphabet book combined with coloring, even ...

The Fairy Necklaces (Flower Fairies)2 reviews

Warne, 1992
I loved this enchanting story and the illustrations.
I first read this book to my little girl in 1975. She was four. The prose is a little lengthy but the illustrations and the story make it worth the the effort. The book was in our public library and was terribly tattered and worn. We loved the magical drawings and the wonderful little story where being good and working hard is rewarded. And since I believe in fairies, I was delighted to ...

More than just Stickers
This is a great little "keep busy" book for kids. I'm looking after my own and my sister's children at present, four all together ages 2-6, and even the two boys have enjoyed this. The games, activities, and stickers have allowed them to both use their imaginations and create beautiful gifts and decoratives. We have made birthday and get-well cards, posters, refrigerator art, and we have ...

Simply gorgeous Fairy pop-up book!
I love pop-up books and have been a long-time Robert Sabuda fan. Well, after buying a couple of Cicely Mary Barker's fairy books, I think they are quite wonderful in their own right. In "How To Find Fairies", we have a beautiful pop-up book that allows us an 'intimate' look at fairies and their habitats. As the great video review posted by another reviewer shows, there are altogether 5 big ...

Childhood Complete at Last!
First of all, I am thrilled these books and drawings are still available. My sister and I recieved three of the books as gifts when were children and have fought over possession of them ever since. Thank goodness my sister managed to keep the three we had all these years (I am 35 now). I always thought they were just gorgeous little books someone had stumbled upon and we'd never be able to ...

Great flower fairies calendar
Great flower fairies calendar - a little fantasy of creator and thanks to collages of different original Mary Cicely Barker pictures the images became more colourful and absolutely joyful. Calendar come with little stickers that you can place on some date (stickers are smaller that date squares - so it do not enclose the date) to remember yourself some important events.

Fairy Magic Pop-up (Flower Fairies)1 review

what a FABULOUS pop-up book!
I first bought this book back in 1993 for myself--the artwork and the magic of each flower pop-up was irresistible! I gave it to a dear friend's 2 daughters for Christmas that year--it was so wonderful to share it also. Now I'm buying another copy for myself, and one for another friend's child. Each flower in the book is shown as it looks in the spring, and then the pop-up changes it to ...

An enchanting picture book.

The flowers are beautifully rendered, and the fairy children are dressed in garments that resemble their own flowers. Each picture is accompanied by a poem.

The Flower Fairies Address Book (Flower Fairies)1 review
Cicely Mary Barker
Warne, 1992
Must Have
This is the cutest little address book I have ever seen. It has many color pages of Cicely Mary Baker's adorable little fairies. Different fairies for ever letter of the alphabet. Lots of spaces for entries under each letter too! I highly recommend this perfect little address book. The only drawback is that it does not have any tab dividers, but the lack of these just makes the book cuter.

great book!
this is a very detailed book focusing more on fairy tidbits and special crafts, with a few chapters of a fairy story as well. beautifully illustrated and the crafts are fairly doable. the book inspired my 6 year old to host a summer solstice party for her friends, and the book has given us more than enough ideas! a very pretty, readable and re-readable book.
