Felicia and the Pot of Pinks

A fairy tale retold from The Blue Fairy Book, collected by Andrew Lang

This fairy tale comes from The Blue Fairy Book, collected by Andrew Lang and first published in 1889. The original story was written by the Comtesse d'Aulnoy, a French author of the seventeenth century. It is a story about kindness, enchantment, and a flower that is really a prince. A child who reads this story learns that generosity and a loving heart bring their own rewards, and that magic often hides in the simplest things—even a pot of flowers. This text reflects its era.
