The book is bound in original quarter blue cloth over grey paper boards, now housed in a protective clear sleeve. While the binding remains structurally tight and square, the external boards exhibit generalised surface scuffing and moderate edge-wear. The front board's pictorial onlay retains its vibrant colour but suffers from a chip and loss to the bottom right corner, obscuring part of the \"Spindle Berry Fairy\" caption. Internally, the preliminary leaves and endpapers present with scattered foxing that occasionally intrudes onto the text block margins. However, the internal pages remain largely supple, and all twelve tipped-in colour plates are entirely intact, clean, and beautifully preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\" id=\"p-rc_e0ec9bdd02bd4ccc-74\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note: \u003c\/b\u003eThis charming, highly sought-after first edition unites the iconic whimsical artistry of Cicely Mary Barker with the musical compositions of Olive Linnell. \u003cspan class=\"citation-106 citation-end-106\"\u003eThough undated, the publication is widely attributed to 1927 by institutional holdings and reference catalogues.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"6\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"citation-105 citation-end-105\"\u003eThe volume pairs twelve of Barker's beloved botanical fairy illustrations, rendered as delicate, tipped-in colour plates, with Linnell's accompanying seasonal scores.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"7\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\" id=\"p-rc_e0ec9bdd02bd4ccc-75\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-104\"\u003eBarker's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-104\"\u003eFlower Fairies\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-104 citation-end-104\"\u003e series has maintained an enduring appeal since its inception, celebrated for its meticulous botanical accuracy intertwined with Edwardian fairy fantasy.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"8\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Copies of this specific musical collaboration in the original quarter-cloth and paper boards are increasingly scarce on the open market, particularly those that retain all twelve original tipped-in plates. \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\" id=\"p-rc_e0ec9bdd02bd4ccc-76\"\u003eStep into an autumnal wonderland where nature's magic is set to melody. \u003cspan class=\"citation-103\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"79\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-103\"\u003eAutumn Songs With Music\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-103\"\u003e seamlessly blends Cicely Mary Barker's beloved \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"150\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-103\"\u003eFlower Fairies\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-103 citation-end-103\"\u003e with the enchanting piano compositions of Olive Linnell.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"9\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"citation-102 citation-end-102\"\u003eFeaturing twelve stunning, tipped-in colour plates of fairies nestled amongst autumn leaves and berries, this beautifully illustrated volume invites readers and musicians alike to celebrate the turning of the seasons through art, poetry, and song.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"10\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54230823207251,"sku":"4498","price":52.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260623_161918.jpg?v=1783495042","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/autumn-songs-with-music-from-flower-fairies-of-the-autumn-cicely-mary-barker-olive-linnell","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
