Who else remembers them?
My Gdd is just 3 and very keen on fairies, so I thought I'd look online for some of these books. Found a beautifully boxed set of all 8, supposedly used but look brand new to me. So many of the lovely pictures and rhymes are still familiar, and though the books were obviously published much more recently, both are just as I remember.

What's more, the set arrived barely 48 hours after I'd ordered it!

Very much so. My first was Flower Fairies of the Summer.
Lovely little books!

Somehow I missed these books when I was little. I can’t think how. I had lots of books, but perhaps my mother didn’t know about these. I’d have loved them - well, I do now, so I haven’t missed out entirely.

I did have, and adored, The Lord of the Rushie River, which is by the same author/illustrator, Cicely Mary Barker. I’ve still got it.

I loved these books and still do. Two of my GDs are particularly interested; one is very 'in' to fairies and the other finds it an interesting way to describe flowers. Even when small I enjoyed the pictures and the accompanying poems. I found an anthology of the Flower Fairies in an Emporium and couldn't resist buying it.
