Cicely Mary Barker
Cicely Mary Barker (28 June 1895 – 16 February 1973) was the illustrator who created the famous
Flower Fairies, in the shape of ethereal smiling children with butterfly wings. As a child, she was greatly influenced by the works of the illustrator
Kate Greenaway, whom she assiduously copied in her formative years. Her principal influence, however, which she duly credited, was the artwork of the
Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
