Flower Fables

A collection of illustrated fairy stories from Louisa May Alcott--the author who brought us Little Women. Originally published in 1854, this collection of fables was inspired by Louisa's time spent in the woods around Walden Pond--a spot endearingly named "Fairyland" by Walden's own Henry David Thoreau. Young Louisa collected these fairy fables into a volume dedicated to her friend Ellen Emerson, the daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson. This volume--published under the title, Flower Fables--was Louisa's first published book. Applewood Books has partnered with Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House to publish this commemorative hardcover edition on the 150th anniversary of its first publication.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Louisa AlcottPublisher: Applewood BooksPublished: 01/15/2005ISBN: 9781557099549Pages: 210Weight: 0.63lbsSize: 6.75h x 5.25w x 0.80d
