Readers can join in the Valentine's Day celebrations as the Flower Fairies set forth in their magical world to design the perfect cards to hand out to all their special friends.
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.
This is a very little, but very pretty book about Valentine's Day, where the fairies give each other their version of valentine cards. The artwork in the book is all in color and very beautifully done.
