Cicely Mary Barker est l'artiste derrière les célèbres Fairies des Fleurs, des représentations fantaisistes d'enfants souriants et ailés. Son travail précoce a montré une forte influence de l'illustratrice Kate Greenaway, dont elle a diligemment étudié le style. Cependant, la principale inspiration artistique de Barker provenait du mouvement préraphaélite.
The wind is cold, the Spring seems long a-waking; The woods are brown and bare; Yet this is March- soon April will be making All things most sweet and fair. See, even now, in hedge and thicket tangled, One brave and cheering sight- The leafless branches of the Blackthorn, spangled With starry blossoms white!

The Song of The Wayfaring Tree Fairy My shoots are tipped with buds as dusty-grey As ancient pilgrims toiling on their way. Like Thursday's child with far to go, I stand, All ready for the road to Fairyland; With hood, and bag, and shoes, my name to suit, And in my hand my gorgeous-tinted fruit.
The Song of The Poppy Fairy The green wheat's a-growing, The lark sings on high; In scarlet silk a-glowing, Here stand I. The wheat's turning yellow, Ripening for sheaves; I hear the little fellow Who scares the bird-thieves. Now the harvest's ended, The wheat-field is bare; But still, red and splendid, I am there.
