Anna | 1 comments I rememeber reading a book in about second grade, that I have been looking for for a very long time. I can only remember snip-its: A girl lives with her grand mother in an old house, the faeries became flowers during the day...I remember a tea party being prominent...
I thought the book was called "The Flower Fairies", but I've looked and cannot find it anywhere. Help!

Kinsey Swartz (tvindy) | 131 comments Cicely Mary Barker wrote several books about flower fairies. Could it be one of those?

I was thinking that also, but in her stories, the fairies did not turn in to flowers or vice-versa. But on the off chance it actually was written by Barker, the one story of hers this description comes closes to IMO is her "The Fairy Necklaces" found in The Complete Book of the Flower Fairies

Summary: Jessie returns to the magical world where her grandmother was born, where she deals with some griffins, dances with fairies, and borrows something to help her dance in her school concert.


When were you in second grade?

Mir | 802 comments This is a bit oblique, but Kerry Greenwood's Away With The Fairies Phryne Fisher has a character who writes and illustrates books like the one you're describing -- I think the author's bibliography at the end may list some actual publications that she was basing it on.
