Publisher's Synopsis
For the first time in over 10 years all eight Original Flower Fairies BooksT 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.
In a format that has enchanted readers for 90 years, each of Cicely Mary Barker's beautiful illustrations of the fairies of wild and familiar autumn flowers is accompanied by a delightful poem. Flower Fairies of the Autumn with the Nuts and Berries that They Bring celebrates the harvest and introduces children to the season's plants by making them magical. Autumnal favourites to be found in Flower Fairies of the Autumn include: The Rose-Hip Fairy, The Acorn Fairy and The Horse Chestnut Fairy.
The seven other titles in the Flower Fairies series, Flower Fairies of the Spring, Flower Fairies of the Summer, 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.
