Far far away, the butterfly folk live in a kingdom of beautiful gardens.
The butterfly children play, dance and sing all day long with their
little brothers and sisters, the caterpillars.
The children can't wait until the first day of spring, when they will
finally get their wings. But first, they must learn about the many
brightly colored flowers in the kingdom, so they can take part in the
flying procession of peacock, swallowtail, red admiral and many other
butterflies.
Beautifully illustrated in the art nouveau style, this is another
classic children's story from the author of The Story of the Root
Children and The Story of the Wind Children.
When the hunter's children fall out of their cradle in the woods, a kind
mother rabbit takes them home and cares for them. She makes them rabbit
suits to keep them warm and they play happily with her rabbit children.
