As mentioned this is the perfect book for a mother and daughter to get in some bonding time, but this certainly does not mean you need to have a daughter or be a little girl yourself to enjoy this read. The book will serve as the perfect reminder of the time you spent with your mum in the garden, or when you played amongst the flowers and pretended you had your very own fairy friends. This book was also another reread, but it felt very much like a new book to me, because it had been so long since I actually read through some of the poems! Before, I could only remember a handful of the poems – eg. Lily-of-the-Valley, Daffodil (my absolute favourite poem!), Mallow – and it turns out this is because the large majority of the poems are actually terrible. I mean, they’re truly awful, with terrible rhyme schemes and structure, and seem like they took about five minutes to write and no-one ever thought to improve them. But having said that, the illustrations (also done by the author) are by far the best and most memorable thing about this book, and the reason it got 4 stars from me on Goodreads despite mostly being utter drivel. Aside from said drivel, my favourite poems were those for the Bird’s-Foot-Trefoil, Michaelmas Daisy, Snapdragon, Fumitory, Gorse, and Pansy fairies. There were also several other memorable poems (for very different reasons though) such as: Traveller’s Joy, which sounds kind of ridiculous when read aloud, but this did elicit a lot of giggles from us; "Toadflax" sounds like a Harry Potter-esque swear word; and the Nightshade Berry fairy is straight up trying to murder children with his berries! Clara Ingram Judson, writer who created her own Flower Fairies title, illustrated by Maginel Wright Enright, circa 1915. 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.

Her charming poetry and delicate illustrations have sparked the imaginations of children for over ninety years and continue to inspire a life-long love for fairies and all things magical. Read more Details Adult Colouring Books: An Enchanted World (colouring for adults, adult colouring books stress relieving patterns, adult colouring books flowers, colouring books fairies) Flower Fairies Friends are books for younger readers, each telling the story of a particular fairy and her friends, and were first published in 2003. Reading this was an absolutely magical experience. I wonder whether fairies really did exist before Ms. Baker brought them to life through her imagination. She is an amazing artist, poet, botanist, and obviously a nature lover. Originally this book was published as eight individual books, but now it can be enjoyed in a stunning complete collection that tells the tales of those magical beings found in our gardens, who have come to teach us all about flowers.What I found very intriguing was the fact that the author drew all of the illustrations botanically correct, so it's so much more than just a picture a child or any reader really, one get' s to see what a true sketch of the flower looks like and is then transported into the world of magic of how each little fairy has it's place among the flowers. The illustrations of Cicely Mary Barker are as delicate and ethereal as you remember from your childhood. The sing song poetry of the fairies, buoyant and light. Each and every pairing unique and without any recollection of repetitiveness.
