I have read the 4 seasons and I do love these, but nothing new can really be said. It is the same as the others. They are delightful and lovely. I want to have a tea party and recite them there in a garden. Each person could read a poem. That'd be fun.
I'm grateful for these little poems of fairies.
The niece and I enjoy looking through these.

I've seen Cicely Mary Barker's work everywhere but this is the first time I've noticed the tree fairies. It brings back memories of my parent's home with the Almond Blossom, Pear Blossom, Cherry Blossom and Cherry Tree (he's such an imp!). These pictures have a lot of movement - I really like the Willow who dips her "toes in the stream below." The Poplar looks so cute with silky white pompoms on her shoes but in my garden is the despised Cottonwood for that very feature.

A charmingly illustrated introduction to trees and their fairy friends.
Beautiful nature based poetry with gorgeous accompanying artwork. Poetry based around the trees of Britain and their times of the year to blossom and bloom.
I loved these books as a child and reading them brings back happy memories.
I suggest anyone who loves these classic illustrations seek out the poems that accompany them.
Another fantastic collection of flower fairies from Cicely Mary Barker, even though many of the flowers weren't strictly related to flowers. Lots of the trees in this collection were obviously chosen because they were of the flowering variety (fruit trees in abundance), but I honestly found the non-flowering trees to be a nice change. The sweet chestnut fairy was a particular favourite because of his ridiculous spiky hat - English chestnuts must be of a different variety than the ones I'm used t Another fantastic collection of flower fairies from Cicely Mary Barker, even though many of the flowers weren't strictly related to flowers.

The sweet chestnut fairy was a particular favourite because of his ridiculous spiky hat - English chestnuts must be of a different variety than the ones I'm used to seeing, because ours aren't edible and their spiky shells are even more so. Besides Barker's excellent grasp of illustrating her trees, the settings for these fairies gave her a lot of room to play with for innovative poses. Her fairies are shown perched on branches, balancing on falling seeds, and playfully swinging from fine branches or vines, which gives them a truely childlike and carefree attitude that is absent in some of the more staid garden poses. Now to go and find a tree to climb in! ...more
I bought this together with my fiancé around the time I started reading it; a friend of mine had given me a gift card for books (best thing to give me if unsure of what book to choose!).
Because this little book is mainly illustrations and short poems, it is easy to read in one afternoon, however I wanted to take it slowly, so I read it in bed with my partner every once in a while, it added a bit of the fairies' magic to our slumber.

Cicely Mary Barker's illustrations are beautiful, even more admirable considering she was self-taught. The poems are simple, but very sweet and enjoyable. I definitely recommend it! ...more
My nan helped to teach me to read with these books. Each night I stayed over we would read together and that made these little books very special to me.Trees was a good collection. I liked this more that little bit more because I knew the trees involved in the poems, whereas i didn't really know any of the flowers.
I just wished that Barker would have considered doing a story. The poems were beautiful, but a story conbining the fairies would have been magical!

My mom read this to me when I was a toddler and it's always been a favorite. I haven't read it in years, but I think reading this from such a young age is what instilled in me my love of poetry. That and Anne of Green Gables. My siblings and I would also match the illustrations to ourselves and other children we knew.
This is another wonderful addition to Barker's Flower Fairies series. I feel like this one has some of the most beautiful artwork and the most enchanting poems. It was a really really quick read but I loved it no less. This is another wonderful addition to Barker's Flower Fairies series.

This little book is so gorgeous! The drawings are so fine and beautiful.
I love the poems inside and my favourite poem is Willow .
Short and simple poems with lovely, tasteful pictures. My 19 month old boy enjoys these books.
Wouldn't it be nice to live in the Land that Cicely Mary Barker has created with Flower Fairies all around. Wouldn't it be nice to live in the Land that Cicely Mary Barker has created with Flower Fairies all around. ...more
Lovely artwork with fun poems - a great way to learn the names of flowers! This one, unlike many of it's ilk, is still in print.
This is the sixth in the Flower Fairies series.
I read this as part of "The Complete Book of Flower Fairies".
This was just really cute. Very different tone from William Blake- Ha ha!
just delightful. I loved the little extra information about the trees. The illustrations are just gorgeous.

Drawing are great! and the poems along with them are fun to read! cute little book
This is a very sweet book of poems and beautiful illustrations.
Wonderful, whimsical world of Cicely Mary Barker.
Cicely Mary Barker was the illustrator who created the famous Flower Fairies; those ethereal smiling children with butterfly wings. As a child she was influenced by the works of the illustrator Kate Greenaway, whom she assiduously copied in her formative years. Her principal influence, however, was the artwork of the Pre-Raphaelites.
