About the author

Cicely Mary Barker was the illustrator who created the famous Flower Fairies; those ethereal smiling children with butterfly wings. As a child she was influenced by the works of the illustrator Kate Greenaway, whom she assiduously copied in her formative years. Her principal influence, however, was the artwork of the Pre-Raphaelites.

I genuinely adored this book growing up as a girl. It gave me so much joy as a little girl who loved fairies and magic. I would recommend it to any other children, or adults, who adore the world of fairies.

In many ways this reminds me of a mini version of the Fairyopolis books that came out with the pop up, lift the tabs and pixie dust. References fairies and there nature. This book is like that but smaller and has a tiny pair of wings for a youngin’

There are little poems about the fairies that are based on the illustrations of Cicely Mary Barker and there are notes and cute lite popups to make a girl giggle with glee.

Although I got the book through a swap it was missing some things like how to make invisible ink which I thought sounded cool! Very cute book and wings that would make a little girl feel like a flower fairy.
