The Complete Flower Fairies

This volume gathers the Flower Fairy poems and pictures in which each wild or garden plant is given a child-sized fairy who wears its leaves and blossoms. Short verses, arranged by season and habitat, name the flower, note when it blooms, and give the fairy a brief speech or scene: spring woods, summer hedgerows, trees, and autumn berries. The text is simple lyric rather than narrative; there is no plot beyond the year turning. The book is a children's verse sequence tied to botanical costume, not a novel and not a field flora without the fairy device.
