Flower Fairies of the Spring - Tapa dura

For the first time in over 10 years all eight Original Flower Fairies Books™ are being re-designed. Inspiration has been drawn from the original publishers' connections with The Glasgow School of Art to produce an exquisite new cover. With fresh new title pages and endpapers, reset text and printed on a fine quality paper, these new editions make a charming gift for all Flower Fairy enthusiasts.

Published in 1923, Flower Fairies of the Spring was the first of Cicely Mary Barker's iconic Flower Fairies books. In a format that has enchanted readers for 90 years, each of Barker's beautiful illustrations of the fairies of wild and familiar flowers is accompanied by a delightful poem. Flower Fairies of the Spring celebrates the annual rejuvenation of the natural world at spring and introduces children to the season's flowers by making them magical. Springtime favourites to be found in Flower Fairies of the Spring include: The Snowdrop Fairy, The Daisy Fairy and The Bluebell Fairy.

The seven other titles in the Flower Fairies series, Flower Fairies of the Summer, Flower Fairies of the Autumn, Flower Fairies of the Winter, Flower Fairies of the Garden, Flower Fairies of the Trees, Flower Fairies of the Wayside and A Flower Fairy Alphabet, are available as single editions or as part of The Complete Book of the Flower Fairies. Also available from Penguin is The Everyday Handbook for Magical Mothers as presented by the Flower Fairies - a handy, pocket-sized book of craft ideas and recipes for mothers who need a touch of magic in their lives.
