Flower Fairies of the Autumn

This is a book originally published in England in 1926. It contains little poems and drawings of fairies associated with particular flowers. There are nineteen fairies in this book. There's also an introductory poem with a black-and-white drawing. All the other fairy drawings are in color.

As with the other books, there are some notes added to some of the poems, particularly noting any of the fruits that are poisonous.

The book flap notes that Cicely Mary Barker, the woman who did the drawings, did not have formal artistic training, yet you'd never know that from looking at the beautiful drawings she did.

The books are considered “classics of children's literature.”
