Cicely's first work was published at the age of
sixteen --- a set of six postcards.
Her illustrations of flowers and plants are
botanically accurate but her fairys in each
picture reminds us of the magic and beauty
of nature. She wrote a poem for each fairy
which helped me discover the wonder and
beauty of combining perennials in my cherished
rose gardens. What some view as roadside
weeds, I envision surrounded by a wee fae
on a clear, crisp, moonlit night. I've
read each and every one of her wonderous
books. Her first book was "Flower Fairies
of Spring" published in 1923.
