My missus's granny gave her two books when she was a little girl and we just came across them whilst rummaging in the attic, "The book of the flower fairies" and "Fairies of the flowers and trees" by Cicely M. Barker.

The illustrations are wonderful and each poem/song has its own, then blank pages before the next.

Can anyone give us any information on who, when, where etc.

These were printed by Blackie and Son Limited, Glasgow, Bombay, and Toronto, how diverse is that?
