Flower Princess

About this book

ONCE upon a time there was a beautiful Princess named Fleurette, who lived in a white marble palace on the top of a high hill. The Princess Fleurette was very fond of flowers, and all around the palace, from the very gates thereof, a fair garden, full of all kinds of wonderful plants, sloped down to the foot of the hill, where it was snugly inclosed with a high marble wall. Thus the hill was like a great nosegay rising up in the midst of the land, sending out sweet odors to perfume the air for miles, bright with color in the sunshine, and musical with the chorus of birds and the hum of millions of bees... Thus begins the first story in this collection of four! The Little Friend, The Mermaid's Child, and The Ten Blowers being the other three delightful stories! - Summary by Abbie Farwell Brown and ShrimpPhish
