I have 1980s editions of some of the Flower Fairy books and the reproductions in 1990 edition is visably superior.

A charming little book in this series, full of winsome fairy children and rhymes about familiar flowers to be found in an English garden. I delight in the colors and details in the flowers and the fae.
