The Flower Queen's Daughter

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

This fairy tale comes from The Yellow Fairy Book, a collection gathered by Andrew Lang and first published in 1894. Lang collected stories from many lands; this one comes from the Bukovina region of Eastern Europe. It is a classic rescue tale where kindness is rewarded, magical helpers appear when needed, and love finds a way even when the seasons pull a couple apart. The story teaches that a kind heart opens doors and that some separations—like winter and summer—are part of the rhythm of life. This text reflects its era.
