Flower Fables

Originally released in 1854, these enchanting fables were birthed from Louisa's exploration of the bucolic landscape of Walden Pond – a vista Thoreau likened to a fairy realm.

In honor of her friend Ellen Emerson, the daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Louisa accumulated these fantastical fables into a single hardcover volume. Flower Fables was her inaugural book.
