FLOWER FAIRY COLORING PAGE - IRIS AND LILAC

Flower Fairies  were originally drawn by  English illustrator Cicely Mary Barker. Unable to go to school as a child because she had epilepsy, she was home-schooled and spent a lot of time drawing and painting. Her flower fairy paintings were driven by the Victorian popularity of fairies and fairy stories all of which were much talked about in those days.

Cicely Mary Barker published her first Flower Fairies book in 1923 and she received just £25 for Flower Fairies of the Spring. This was a  collection of 24 paintings and illustrations. The books enjoyed huge popularity and Cicely went on to publish seven more  Flower Fairy books.
