Flower Fables -- Louisa May Alcott

A collection of illustrated fairy stories from Louisa May Alcott--the author who brought us <i>Little Women</i>. 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, <i>Flower Fables</i>--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.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Louisa Alcott<br><b>Publisher:</b> Applewood Books<br><b>Published:</b> 01/15/2005<br><b>Pages:</b> 210<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.63lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 6.75h x 5.25w x 0.80d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781557099549<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 9-12
