‘Most of the wild and cultivated plants included in the Flower Fairy books can still be easily found, and still, we hope, continue to inspire future generations of all ages.’
When Cicely Mary Barker wrote and illustrated her first book, Flower Fairies of the Spring, little could she have imagined that it would be the foremost title in a best-selling series that remains beloved almost 100 years later. This new Folio Society box set sees Barker’s exquisite paintings and nature-inspired poems presented as a complete collection, in an exclusive new layout that best displays these imaginative illustrated verses. Working closely with the Frederick Warne Archive, we have carefully restored the original colour paintings, and the set also includes Barker’s line drawing decorations, as well as screen-printed bindings with individual designs inspired by fairies from each volume.
The artwork is lovely. I’ve seen various prints of these illustrations and poems over the years, and these are the only ones that weren’t pixelated or otherwise poorly reproduced. Combined with the beautiful cloth bindings and gold or silver edges, these books are an absolute pleasure to read, or just skim through the illustrations.
Great Product
This is a wonderful box set and I love the quality of the pages and illustrations, I also find the book binding wonderful but not keen on the colour choices for the cover illustrations would have preferred the original scheme or just an outline to the page backing, however this does not distract from the wonderful nostalgia of reading some much loved childhood poems
Complete set of replica fairy book series. well done, accurate, beautiful and detail oriented.
Lovely little books which are a joy to read.
Delightful, my wife absolutely loves them. The best birthday present ever!
I adored these books when I was young and I was delighted to treat myself to the full collection. Wonderful!
never received
A little jewel. Very good quality. An ideal present for any dreamer
The collection of books is delightful. Each image is clear and full of colour, in a way that conveys the "age" of the work. The cloth bound covers remind me of the cherished keepsake books of my early childhood.
What a wonderful collection of The Flower Fairies.. it's a joy to look at and to read. This will definitely become one of my treasures to hand on to future generations ! Delivered speedily to France - thank-you. What a pity I have to limit my Folio purchases due to the extra taxes now imposed in Europe on orders from the UK !!!!
These were a gift for my Mom and she absolutely loves them. They are quality designed and have incredible illustrations in them.
This is a lovely collection of little books. Beautiful to look at and gorgeous to handle. A definitive collection and much enjoyed. Thank you.
A beautiful little set.I am very pleased 😄
I have been looking for some years to find a reprint of this classic work which retains the delicacy of the original version. I've seen earlier, rather disappointing ones with hard edges to the images and inaccurate colours, but the Folio Society books are in a different league, beautifully and sensitively done - a worthy tribute to the original work..
Love the books and the illustrations in them, I have been looking for this classic prints and I’m so happy to find them
This was the perfect sentimental gift for my mother that had these images on our bedroom wall frowning up! She loved receiving this gift.
Beautiful books, as always
Another high quality Folio production. This set really brings back memories. As a young child I chose one of flower fairies poems for the poetry section of my Spoken English exams.
Just beautiful!!! So glad to have this in my collection.
