This is a nice, fairly short, set of fables, and poetry, as told by, and featuring, the flower fairies of Alcott's imagination. The imagery in the fables is quite lovely, though the illustrations scattered throughout didn't fit my mental image of it or the characters. However, I have to say, I'm not a great fan of Alcott's moral tales. The content is on point, but there's something in the way that it's presented that mostly has me rolling my eyes. However, in the case of these fables, I can't really fault Alcott, considering that Aesop's Fables never did anything for me either.

My favorite of the fables, not counting the poetry, were The Frost King, which reminded me a bit of Strange Magic and Lily Bell and Thistledown, in which Thistledown is unlikable and mean, but comes to become a better person, rather than starting out perfect, like Lily Bell.
