Flower Fables is one of the more obscure books written by Louisa May Aclott, but is by no means less significant. It is a traditional fairytale book in that it contains an enchanting world that sweetens the bitter lessons learned by some of the characters. Sweet and full of hope for humanity it reflects what is valued and understood in childhood that is often lost in the coffee mugs, offices, traffic, and bills of the grown up world. In the text there is a sense of justice and truth that compliments the sweet romance of it quite well. All in all, the book is a great read for both children and adults. It would make a good read for the parents out there to schedule for bedtime. This particular edition is large print which makes it easier to read, but I found the lack illustrations a little disapointing considering it is a fairytale book. I did identify one spelling mistake where they spelled "sky" "shy." It is possible it was in the original text as there is some grammatical differences in her era.
