Summary "Flower Fables" by Louisa May Alcott is a collection of enchanting tales written in the mid-19th century. These fables explore themes of kindness, love, and moral lessons through the whimsical adventures of fairies and other mystical beings, each story conveying important virtues as they interact with the world around them. The opening portion of "Flower Fables" introduces readers to a vibrant fairyland where fairies gather under the summer moon to share stories. The main fairy, Violet, reveals the plight of her realm, which is threatened by the cruel Frost-King. As she expresses her desire to save the flowers from his cold grasp, the fairies engage in a council to find a solution. Violet bravely volunteers to confront the Frost-King, believing that love can thaw his icy heart. This sets the stage for a tale about the power of love and sacrifice, emphasizing the importance of compassion and selflessness in overcoming adversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
