Originally published in 1854, this collection of fables was inspired by a young Alcott's exploration of the woods around Walden Pond – a landscape Thoreau himself called "Fairyland." Louisa gathered these fairy fables into a volume dedicated to her friend Ellen Emerson, the daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Flower Fables was Louisa's first published book.
