    There is something about them that captures the imagination of lots of little (and big) girls.

    I began collecting books and postcards several years ago and then found I was running out of space (and cash) so decided to sell a few things from my collection that was the beginning of March House Books.

    Wonderful find! I remember her artwork from a FAIRY POEMS FOR THE YOUNG READER book I had as a child. Will have to check it out online....

    These are so beautiful. I love how the fairies are portrayed as caretakers.

    Hello Olga
    I hadn't looked at them like that - but you are quite right. These are two of my favourite Flower Fairy illustrations.
    Best wishes, Barbara.
