Simply Crochet 2023 Flower Fairies™ collection is inspired by Cicely Mary Barker’s timeless illustrations and poems, which imagine magical sprites in every corner of our gardens. She found international acclaim as an artist with her delightful Flower Fairies books the first of which, Flower Fairies of the Spring, was printed in 1923. With her father’s help, young Cicely sold her first postcard design in 1910, her first book illustrations were published in 1911 and her first poetry appeared in magazines and annuals in 1912. It is one of my favourite flower fairy designs and the little rose fairy in the painting looks just like my two year old granddaughter.Taking too many catkins might make the fairies cry, but the tears are soon consoled; elves may injure themselves, but they are soon treated with the herb self-heal.

They bear only tenuous links to the faeries of British tradition, but over the last century they have nevertheless been inspirational and meaningful enough for people to effectively create their own tradition. Soon after, the Cottingley case brought the possible reality of fairyland nearer to many people, and the growing enthusiasm for fay themes at all levels of society no doubt encouraged Barker, just as it contemporaneously encouraged her friend Tarrant.

In 1923 Blackie published Barker’s Flower Fairies of the Spring, which combined her watercolour paintings with verses she had composed (though readers may feel that poetry was not her strength). We are told that it is “At the edge of the woodland/ Where good fairies dwell…” and there are some mentions of faery kings and queens.

Dancing at night under the moon is a traditional touch, as are “elfin coats of green” and there is a sense that fairies are as old as the seasons.
