Flower Fables

Alcott, Louisa May, 1832-1888

About this resource

Read the opening of The Frost King in Louisa May Alcott’s Flower Fables, ending after Violet proposes a different approach to the king. The warm flower-world contrasts with the harm attributed to frost. Previous gifts have failed. Investigate how Violet’s suggested response changes the question from what to offer a ruler to how to approach him. Treat this as a fable’s argument, not a rule for every real conflict.
