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 am a big fan of Cicely Mary Barker's flower fairy illustrations. To get this new book, Frederick Warne has put a variety of Barker's illustrations together in different ways. The story is a bit forced and extremely forgettable, but as an artifact this is a beautiful book, with a buttercup yellow die-cut cover, and Barker's illustrations throughout.

I read this in Bahasa Indonesia version. Aku tidak terlalu suka ceritanya. Tapi masih tetap bagus ilustrasinya ala Ms. Barker ^_^
