Unique Elements About the Author Commentaries Biographical Article A CHARMING Storybook for children by LOUISA MAY ALCOTT. LULU'S LIBRARY, VOLUME 2 by AMERICAN author LOUISA MAY ALCOTT is a book of short stories for children first published in 1887 in the UNITED STATES. The second volume, published in 1887, featured eleven stories including "The Frost King, And How the Fairies Conquered Him," "Lilybell and Thistledown, Or The Fairy Sleeping Beauty," and "Ripple, The Water Sprit." Sneak Peak The Queen sat upon her throne, and all the fairies from the four kingdoms were gathered for a grand council. A very important question was to be decided, and the bravest, wisest elves were met to see what could be done. The Frost King made war upon the flowers; and it was a great grief to Queen Blossom and her subjects to see their darlings die year after year, instead of enjoying one long summer, as they might have done but for him. She had sent messengers with splendid gifts, and had begged him to stop this dreadful war, which made autumn so sad and left the fields strewn with dead flowers. But he sent back the gifts, sternly refused her prayers, and went on with his cruel work; because he was a tyrant, and loved to destroy innocent things. Title Details Originally published in 1887.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Louisa May Alcott, born on November 29, 1832, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, grew up in a family deeply engaged in social reform and education. Her father, Bronson Alcott, was a transcendentalist and educator, influencing Louisa's ideals despite the family's financial struggles. Surrounded by notable thinkers like Emerson and Thoreau, she developed a passion for writing early in life.Alcott worked various jobs to support her family, but her time as a Civil War nurse profoundly impacted her. This experience inspired Hospital Sketches, bringing her public attention and fueling her literary career. Her greatest success came with Little Women (1868), a semi-autobiographical novel that captured the lives of the March sisters.Despite health challenges later in life, Alcott continued to write and advocate for social causes, including women's suffrage and abolition. She never married, choosing instead a life focused on family and literature. Louisa May Alcott passed away on March 6, 1888, leaving a legacy as one of America's most beloved authors.
