The name celandine is from the Latin 'chelidonia' (Swallow) as its flowering was thought to coincide with the bird's spring arrival. It's an etymology that is perfect for the winged charm of Cicely Mary Barker's celandine flower fairy.

Flower Fairies are another one of those magical time tunnels for me Cicely Mary Barker, created the Flower Fairies. “Unable to go to school as a child because of her epilepsy, she was home-schooled and spent much of her time drawing and painting.”
