A deluxe edition of enchanting fairy tales and fables from an American literary icon.
Alcott is best known for the beloved classic Little Women. Her enduring stories of kindness, friendship, and self-discovery echo timeless themes that continue to inspire and resonate across generations. The delightful allegorical tales found in Flower Fables—Alcott’s debut work—are no exception, and this beautifully produced collection of nine stories is as relevant today as it was when first published in 1854. This new edition includes color illustrations for the first time, plus sprayed edges, a foiled case, and a pretty ribbon.
Alcott’s vivid imagery, captivating storytelling, and appreciation of the natural world is woven throughout the stories—the sprites and fairies that wander its pages embody the magic of nature itself. From dappled woodlands carpeted with soft ferns and wildflowers to the open expanses of meadows, and from sparkling streams to majestic mountains, this journey through the wonders of nature will capture the hearts and imaginations of both adults and children alike with messages of kindness, love, and self-improvement.
