First published in the 1920s, the 'Flower Fairy' books by Cicely Mary Barker have delighted generations of children with their exquisite illustrations and engaging poems. In 'Flower Fairies of the Autumn' we meet the fairies who hide among the fallen leaves, make mischief among the blackberries and encourage us to look at nature and learn to appreciate the true beauty and wonder of the 'ordinary' world around us.
