The Flower Fairies

They live among the petals and leaves
Of every plant and flower
They dance with the breeze and sing with the bees
And watch over nature's power

They have wings like butterflies and dresses like gowns
And crowns made of dewdrops and seeds
They have names like Rose and Lily and Thyme
And personalities that match their weeds

They are friends with the birds and the bugs and the trees
And they care for them all with love
They are guardians of beauty and magic and joy
And they bring blessings from above

They are Cicely Mary Barker's flower fairies
And they have enchanted us for years
They are timeless and lovely and graceful and wise
And they fill our hearts with cheers

The Magical World of Flower Fairies

Flower fairies are whimsical creatures that live among the plants and flowers, created by Cicely Mary Barker in 1923.

Her books became popular worldwide and inspired many products, such as postcards, greeting cards, figurines, costumes, and fabrics, featuring her charming fairy designs.

Barker was a self-taught artist who drew inspiration from nature and the children at her sister's nursery school, giving each fairy a unique personality and appearance.
