A Treasury of Flower Fairies

This is an adorable, colorfull, enchanting picture book I reccomend to any child, or person young at heart. It has adorable painted pictures of flower faeries, that own certain types of flowers or trees. Then it has a cute poem to it. But I do not reccomend this book to those who are very serious about learning about faeries, or want to see real faery photos. The Dew Drop Fae Believer

The book contains reproductions of a collection of Cicely Mary Barker's watercolors of flower fairies. Each watercolor is a picture of a child or two represented as fairies of a particular flower. The flowers are beautifully rendered, and the fairy children are dressed in garments that resemble their own flowers. Each picture is accompanied by a poem. Ms. Barker used the children who attended her sister's kindergarten as models with the result that the children are charmingly drawn but perhaps a trifle too realistically for depictions of fairies. Still, it is a delightful book.
