In 1923 Blackie published Barker’s Flower Fairies of the Spring, which combined her watercolour paintings with verses she had composed (though readers may feel that poetry was not her strength).

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. The Flower Fairies Calendar for 2024 features over 170 original illustrations by Cicely Mary Barker. The calendar also includes Japanese calendar information that is not included in the import calendar, such as Rokuyo and the 24th season.
