Gorgeous artwork and great introduction to poetry
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The "Flower Fairies" series of books by Cicely Mary Barker are simply enchanting - in "Flower Fairies of the Autumn", the themes of the season and the activity surrounding the season is wonderfully portrayed in each poem by Ms Barker. The illustrations of the various fairies are gorgeous and enchanting - it allows the imagination to wander to another realm filled with fairies, and nature. This series of books is a great way to introduce young children to the beauty of poetry. Highly recommended!
My children were intrigued

This is a lovely and engaging, child-sized book, and my 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son were both engrossed for an entire reading, I think due equally to the detailed child-fairy characters and the focus on plants and nature. They were also quite pleased to note the garments on the fairies and elves that echo the features of the plants. I love it for the wonderful artwork ~ particularly the fairies that look most like my children :)
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 artist or artist-at-heart.
