5.0 out of 5 stars Revisit the Garden From Your Armchair, April 13, 2000

By	Vicky K. Woodard (Myerstown, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love Cicely Mary Barker's work. The drawings are botanically accurate, with a subtle artistic softness that makes them very pleasurable. I've been an avid gardener for over 15 years. Working in the garden regularly, you see the flowers, feel the seasons, and become part of the cycle of nature. The art and poetry in Flower Fairies of the Garden captures the essence of that experience.

Cicely Mary Barker's books are wonderful. I add one to each order I place on Amazon to complete my collection.

My granddaughters who are 5 and 7 years are very intrigued with Fairies and their stories. They love the poetry in this whole series of books by Cicely Barker. I love reading these books with and to them. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and inspire their imaginations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful series of poems and illustrations, August 1, 2009

This review is from: Flower Fairies of the Garden (Hardcover)

I actually got the entire series of the Flower Fairies books for my preschooler who loves fairies and is a great fan of the pop-up books inspired by Cicely Mary Barker's fairies' illustrations. These books of poetry and illustrations are quite small, perfect for little hands and even for older readers who would like to escape everyday reality and just linger in another realm, filled with the wonder of nature and magical beings. The illustrations are very detailed, capturing the beauty of the various fairies as well as the plants depicted. Highly recommended!
