Flower Fairies of the Winter by Cicely Mary Barker

A Winter Flower Fairy Poetry Book with Classic Botanical Illustrations

Winter branches, berries, evergreens, and quiet blooms come alive through poetry and fairy illustration in Flower Fairies of the Winter.

This classic Flower Fairies book by Cicely Mary Barker introduces children to the beauty of winter plants through short poems and detailed watercolor illustrations. Each fairy is paired with a seasonal flower, tree, berry, or wayside plant, creating a charming meeting place between nature study, poetry, and imaginative wonder.

First beloved by readers in the 1920s, Barker’s Flower Fairies continue to speak to children and adults who love the small details of the natural world. This winter edition is especially lovely for seasonal book baskets, Waldorf-inspired nature tables, cozy read-aloud time, fairy-loving children, and families who enjoy classic illustrated poetry.

A small hardcover treasure for winter days, Flower Fairies of the Winter invites careful looking, seasonal noticing, and a sense of magic in the plants that remain with us through the cold months.
