Fairy tales shaped by the woods around Walden Pond

First published in 1854, Louisa May Alcott’s debut book gathers illustrated fairy stories inspired by the woods around Walden Pond, which the source says she called “Fairyland.” The collection also carries an early literary connection: Alcott dedicated it to Ellen Emerson, daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson. This hardcover edition commemorates the collection’s 150th anniversary, presenting an early work by the author of *Little Women* in a form that foregrounds its origins as a book of fables.

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in classic juvenile fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy collections of fairy stories and fables.
  • Those curious about Louisa May Alcott’s early work.

Book overview

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.
