An excellent copy of Cecil M. Barker's Flower Fairies of the Spring, focused on the seasonal flowers.

Her stories have been popular since their first appearance in 1923, enchanting both children and adults with her botanically accurate drawings, together with fairy images based on real children.

Each flower is accompanied by poems dedicated to the individual Flower Fairy, with the illustrations appealing our inner sense of magic and wonder.
