PREFACE.

Most of these stories were written at sixteen for my younger sisters and
their playmates, the little Emersons and Channings, and appeared some
years later under the name of "Flower Fables." With some additions they
are now republished for the amusement of those children's children by
their old friend,

L. M. ALCOTT.
