Barker added A Flower Fairy Alphabet in 1934 and then Flower Fairies of the Trees in 1940, of the Garden in 1944 and of the Wayside in 1948.Since the publication of Cicely Mary Barker's first book in 1923, the Flower Fairies have been ethereal companions to readers around the world. Soon after, the Cottingley case brought the possible reality of fairyland nearer to many people, and the growing enthusiasm for fay themes at all levels of society no doubt encouraged Barker, just as it contemporaneously encouraged her friend Tarrant.
