About This Item
Okey-Doke Products, 1998. First Edition, First Printing. Fine Hardcover in a Fine Dust Jacket. New/New. Illustrated by Leah Palmer Preiss.
No Flaws or Blemishes; Gift Quality. oblong 10.75 by 9.5 inches; 112 pages. Ages: 8 - 10 years.. Six stories relate the adventures of the fairy folk and their friends, the flowers.
Written for Ralph Waldo Emerson's daughter, Ellen, when Alcott was 16, and first published in 1855.
Shealy provides an informative afterword here. Readers meet a cast of elves, fairies, brownies and sprites with such Shakespearean names as Willy Wisp, Moonbeam and Thistledown, and the children who occasionally dally with them.
Thinly disguised morality lessons told in an over-upholstered style, they instruct the audience in the importance of various virtues. In "The Frost King," for example, elves resolve to conquer the ice-hearted ruler of winter through peaceable means.
