In 1923 Cicely Mary Barker's first book, Flower Fairies of the Spring, was published. Its immediate success led to the addition of more titles until, twenty-five years later, Cicely had completely the series of Flower Faries books. With each book, Cicely grew in artistic confidence although from the first her accuracy of botanical detail and the delicate charm of her young fairies captivated both children and adults alike. This beautiful treasury contains a collection of the best-loved Flower Fairies illustrations with their poems. The watercolour illustrations are reproduced from the recently reoriginated printing plates so that their delicacy and detail can be seen to their finest advantage and Cicely's skilled craftsmanship as an artist can be fully appreciated.

The Song of The Narcissus Fairy Brown bulbs were buried deep; Now, from the kind old earth, Out of the winter's sleep, Comes a new birth! Flowers on stems that sway; Flowers of snowy white; Flowers as sweet as day, After the night. So does Narcissus bring Tidings most glad and plain- "Winter's gone; here is Spring - Easter again!"
