A little girl has moved into a new house and discovered a tiny door. One day she manages to open it. What's behind the door? She's not sure but she thinks it might be a fairy house. As she starts to explore her neighbourhood with a new friend, they discover more and more doors - all leading to the most secret of fairy places.

This beautiful novelty book contains gorgeous paper ephemera. There are eight fairy doors for the reader to open up and investigate. Each door has its own individual character, shape and colour. Some are decorated, others have little signs or notices, a set of footprints, or fairy glitter leading to the door. As the book progresses, more of the fairies and their world is revealed, culminating in a snowy ball scene.

Condition: Excellent Condition

Cicely Mary Barker was born in 1895 in Croydon, South London, and spent most of her life there. Because of ill-health she was educated at home and largely taught herself to draw and paint, encouraged by a supportive family and assisted by membership of the Croydon Art Society. She was only sixteen when she had her first work accepted for publication as a set of postcards, and from that time she devoted her career to painting.
It was her Flower Fairies books that brought Cicely Mary Barker her greatest popular acclaim. Like the Pre-Raphaelite painters whom she so much admired, she believed in recreating the beauty of nature in art and in drawing from life. Her plants and flowers were observed with complete botanical accuracy and in the fairies themselves she captured perfectly the unselfconscious grace of children, whom she used to sketch in her sister's school.
