The complete collection of Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairy poems and illustrations with a stunning new cover. Reading this was an absolutely magical experience. I wonder whether fairies really did exist before Ms. Baker brought them to life through her imagination. She is an amazing artist, poet, botanist, and obviously a nature lover. This book was also another reread, but it felt very much like a new book to me, because it had been so long since I actually read through some of the poems! Before, I could only remember a handful of the poems – eg. Lily-of-the-Valley, Daffodil (my absolute favourite poem!), Mallow – and it turns out this is because the large majority of the poems are actually terrible. I mean, they’re truly awful, with terrible rhyme schemes and structure, and seem like they took about five minutes to write and no-one ever thought to improve them. But having said that, the illustrations (also done by the author) are by far the best and most memorable thing about this book, and the reason it got 4 stars from me on Goodreads despite mostly being utter drivel. Aside from said drivel, my favourite poems were those for the Bird’s-Foot-Trefoil, Michaelmas Daisy, Snapdragon, Fumitory, Gorse, and Pansy fairies. There were also several other memorable poems (for very different reasons though) such as: Traveller’s Joy, which sounds kind of ridiculous when read aloud, but this did elicit a lot of giggles from us; "Toadflax" sounds like a Harry Potter-esque swear word; and the Nightshade Berry fairy is straight up trying to murder children with his berries!

They were created by a quiet, unassuming and dedicated artist, who was nevertheless remarkably successful, spending her life illustrating many children’s books and selling hundreds of watercolours and pastels. Today, almost thirty years after her death, her work continues to offer delights that have stood the test of time. The connection of seeing and then writing what I see is a art form not often done or done well, but Cicely Mary Barker did it with absolute perfection!
