More About the Author
Cicely Mary Barker was born in 1895 in Croydon, South London, and spent most of her life there. Because of ill-health she was educated at home and largely taught herself to draw and paint, encouraged by a supportive family and assisted by membership of the Croydon Art Society. She was only sixteen when she had her first work accepted for publication as a set of postcards, and from that time she devoted her career to painting. It was her Flower Fairies books that brought Cicely Mary Barker her greatest popular acclaim. Like the Pre-Raphaelite painters whom she so much admired, she believed in recreating the beauty of nature in art and in drawing from life. Her plants and flowers were observed with complete botanical accuracy and in the fairies themselves she captured perfectly the unselfconscious grace of children, whom she used to sketch in her sister's school.

What a find for lovers of fairies! Barker's drawings are the sweetest, most whimsical of all. The flowers are accurately drawn and the fairies enchanting. My daughter and I both adore this book. Caution though - don't use markers, as they will bleed through the pages. A wonderful gift for any girl at a terrific price.

This review is from: The Flower Fairies Alphabet Coloring Book (Paperback)
I have a large collection of these dover adult coloring books. I must das these illustrations are darling. Being an adult I still can enjoy some fantasy in my life.
I recommend these for relaxation. I find that Primsacolor colored pencils work the best for shading and making wonderful creative creations. Highly recommend these books. Amazon had a HUGE collection and the 4 for 3 deal cannot be beat. There are themes just about for any taste. Wahy cheaper than counceling and much more fun. LOL
