Description

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. Published to commemorate the 150th anniversary of its first publication, this elegant hardback edition is a perfect gift for any aged reader.

As you can see from the photos: the Dover edition on the right is quite superior to the other replication on the left. The illustrations are larger and more clear. The poetry is formated better and the illuminated first letters have been preserved. The "other" states it is "annotated" but the only extra info was a little about Alcott herself. It is not included this Dover edition and it didn't enhance the other one either. As usual, Dover has put out a quality product for a very reasonable price. As for the stories, they are very typical of the time in which they were written and enjoyable to read. I am pleased to add this Dover edition to my Alcott collection.
