5 out of 5 stars beautiful illustrations and artist's history   February 17, 2008
  3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I showed this to my small children, older nieces, sister, mother, friends, and grandmother. It appealed to all of them. I bought the deluxe book of flower fairies, the complete flower fairy book and the paper doll book. I needed them for art reference books.

The difference in the first two is:
The deluxe book has a history of the author, her sketches and inspirations, timeline, her prosesses, lots of botanical notes. very collectiors edition, silver leaf and all.

The complete book has fairy's has a 1 page intro of the author then goes straight into images and poems. each has the seasons collections, but the complete has; in addition, the fairies of the garden, trees, wayside and a flower fairy alphabet.

If you love the flower fairies of years ago, you will love the reprinting of their stories.


2 out of 5 stars Disappointing   May 16, 2007

From the information about the book, I thought it was a complete book of Barker's fairies. It is NOT, and the images I wanted the most were NOT included. The book itself is printed with a sort of "fake elegance," including a padded cover and gold edges on the paper. I would rather had had a conventional binding.

gave this to my granddaughter, age 6. Her mom is a folklorist and they love fairies and floers so this was the perfect book for them to share. They love it!

This is one of the most beautifully illustrated book I have ever owned. I use it to paint watercolor pictures and since purchasing it 2 other of my friends have also purchased it from you.
