Children's Poetry

First published in the 1920s, the "Flower Fairy" books by Cicely Mary Barker have delighted generations of children with their exquisite illustrations and engaging poems. In Flower Fairies of the Winter we meet the warm and mischievous fairies of the coldest season. Characters like the Yew Fairy, the Holly Fairy and the Snowdrop Fairy encourage us to look at nature and learn to appreciate the true beauty and wonder of the 'ordinary' world around us.
