A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Generations of children have loved the English Flower Fairy Books - here now are their Australian cousins. Twenty-six exquisitely detailed illustrations by well-known artist Elizabeth Alger adorn this brightly coloured book, featuring the Crimson Bottle-Brush Fairies, the Waterlily Fairies, the Yellow Everlasting Daisy Fairies and more. Each picture is accompanied by a verse, written by nature-inspired gardener, artist and poet Margaret Thornton. Her three daughters also contributed poems. The book contains pages for writing down birthday dates of friends and family, to help you remember. It is the companion volume to the Australian Flower Fairies Address Book, the Notebook and the Diary.

À propos des auteurs

Margaret Thornton was a scholar, intellectual, artist and poet, as well as a lover of nature and a fount of botanical wisdom. The daughter of an airforce pilot, she travelled the world during her youth, later marrying an architect, with whom she had three children. Unusually, she was born, lived and died in the same house - an unpretentious weatherboard in Melbourne, Australia.

Elizabeth is one of Australia's leading animal artists. She has an amazing ability to capture the essence and personality of the animals she portrays. For many years an illustrator and author of childrens' books, she has her studio amongst the rolling hills of Gippsland in Victoria, Australia.Elizabeth's work is highly sought after and in collections around the world.
