Felicia and the Pot of Pinks

A fairy tale from The Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang

This fairy tale comes from The Blue Fairy Book, collected by Andrew Lang and first published in 1889. The original story, 'Fortunée,' was written by the French author Madame d'Aulnoy in the seventeenth century. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. It is a story about kindness rewarded, patience through hardship, and the magic that follows a generous heart. Felicia's love for a simple pot of flowers unlocks a hidden world and reveals her true identity, showing young readers that small acts of care can lead to great transformation.
