Flower Fables (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Louisa May Alcott's "Flower Fables" is a lovely collection of fanciful tales that demonstrates Alcott's early gift for storytelling. This edition of Flower Fables is both modern and legible, with an eye-catching new cover and professionally typeset manuscript. Some stories are violent and strange, while others creep up on you and slowly suck you in. Readers are compelled to keep reading because the title character is so self-indulgent. The book is a compilation of stories written for Alcott's childhood pals' entertainment. Each story revolves around a unique flower, each with its own fascinating universe. In "Flower Fables," Alcott puts together fantastical tales about flower spirits, fairies, and other supernatural beings. She conveys vital life lessons and moral teachings through these stories, while also examining themes of kindness, friendship, and personal growth. Alcott's profound affection for nature is reflected in the characters' relationships with the natural environment and their experiences within it.

Autor

Louisa May Alcott, an American novelist and poet, was born in 1832 in Germantown, Pennsylvania. Alcott was the daughter of the famous visionary Bronson Alcott and was friend of Emerson and Thoreau. Her education was under the direction of her father, for a time at his old Temple School in Boston and, later, at home. She turned to writing in order to increase the family income and had many short stories printed in magazines and newspapers. In addition to writing, she worked as a teacher, governess, and Civil War nurse, as well as being an advocate of abolition, women's rights, and prohibition. After her experiences she wrote Hospital Sketches (1864) which won wide praise, followed by an adult novel, Moods. She is best known as the author of the novel Little Women and its sequels Little Men and Jo's Boys. Little Women is generally based on Alcott's childhood experiences with her three sisters.
