For those who are looking at branching into the world of art. This book is an excellent primer for some of the better quality work which is no longer around today. If you like this time period you can try other illustrators like Trina Schart Hyman, Edward-Burne Jones, or Alphonse Mucha. While all of Barker's artwork is not on this level, this book is and makes enjoyable eye-candy for the artist or artist-at-heart.

This is a lovely and engaging, child-sized book, and my 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son were both engrossed for an entire reading, I think due equally to the detailed child-fairy characters and the focus on plants and nature. They were also quite pleased to note the garments on the fairies and elves that echo the features of the plants. I love it for the wonderful artwork ~ particularly the fairies that look most like my children :)
Third copy of this book I have purchased. My girls are fairy obsessed right now and insist on giving a flower fairy book to their friends as birthday gifts and have to have the correct season to go with each friend. These books are lovely. I love the illustrations as do my daughters who are 6 & 5 years old. We enjoy reading these over and over.
The "Flower Fairies" series of books by Cicely Mary Barker are simply enchanting - in "Flower Fairies of the Autumn", the themes of the season and the activity surrounding the season is wonderfully portrayed in each poem by Ms Barker. The illustrations of the various fairies are gorgeous and enchanting - it allows the imagination to wander to another realm filled with fairies, and nature. This series of books is a great way to introduce young children to the beauty of poetry. Highly recommended!
Perfect size for little hands! I ordered the three other seasonal fairy books as well because my three year old daughter loves carrying around and looking at stacks of little books that all 'go together' in a series. I think she'll be delighted with these on Christmas morning
Very happy with the picture quality, smaller size of book. I also ordered the complete collection book and am SOO glad I ordered these copies as well-WAY better than the complete collection book in picture quality.
Purchased for inspiration... beautiful illustrations and great for your granddaughter for bedtime reading.Shows that wonderful art is long lasting!
