This delightful Victorian Era children's story by Eden Coybee
and illustrated by Nellie Benson will make a wonderful edition to
any library.
It is about Rusialka, Queen of the Fairies and Elves, who gets
permission from Lady Elder, Mother of all the Fairies and Elves, to
wake the flowers on the first night of the new year to dance and
frolic with the fairies. The flowers: Christmas Rose, Ivy, Winter
Jasmine, Michaelmas Daisy, Snowdrop, Violet, Hawthorn, Honeysuckle,
Poppy, Willow, Rose, Chrysanthemum, Periwinkle, Clematis,
Carnation, Wood Anemone, Windflower, Cornflower, Cowlip,
Blackberry, Spindleberry, Holly, and Misletoe are woken. The author
has ingeniously woven into the story each meaning of the
flowers.
Originally published in 1901, it is now being offered again 111
years later. Full color pictures and large print makes it a
pleasure to read by the young and old alike.
If you enjoy classic stories, this reproduction is a must
have.
