Every fair night through the King's earliest years the Ancient One carried him to the battlements and let him fall asleep beneath the shining myriads. But first he would walk about bearing him in his arms, or sit with him in the splendid silence, sometimes relating wonders to him in a low voice, sometimes uttering no word, only looking calmly into the high vault above as if the stars spoke to him and told him of perfect peace. ...

2-0 out of 5 stars Beautiful story, ugly binding...
My daughter fell in love with this book after checking it out at the library.The version she read was a beautiful picture book withpages and pictures as wonderful as the story.She had earned a treat and only wanted this book.
Let me just say how disappointing it is to open a box and find a small, flimsy paperback with not one, single picture!The cover pictured is the actual book cover and inside is small type covering pages with small margins.Only half of the pages are even printed; the book ends just over half-way through the pages of the book.
This is a beautiful story, and I realize that this is a rare publication, but it is still a letdown to find such a book especially at this price.

5-0 out of 5 stars "Blue Flowers" = Life, Love & Beauty
This charming fairytale by the author of the beloved _Secret Garden_ is not just for children,but is a kind of "spiritual tonic" for folks of all ages.Ever since discovering HJKramer's magical edition, I have turned to _Blue Flower_ during times of spiritual or physicaldepletion and have always felt uplifted and enlivened by its positivemessage and exquisite artwork.

The book came to me in a strange,"Heaven-directed" way, during a time of immense grief over thedeath of a relative.I was ripe for its insightful messages that, "Ifyou fill your mind with a beautiful thought, there will be no room for anugly one"; and "There is no time for anger..."I havealways been bolstered by this particular edition, so gracefully illustratedby Judith Ann Griffith, and over the years have gifted a few special souls,adults and children alike, with copies of this delightful book.

The"blue flowers" at the heart of the story have gradually become asort of shorthand-code between me and cherished friends/relatives; and onspecial occasions, we sometimes exchange "blue flowers" as acolorful reminder of truths taught in Frances Hodgson Burnett's tale.The"blue-flower code" is simple and speaks directly to the heart,saying, "We choose love, life, and joy over fear, bitterness, andgrudges."(Given current global upheavals and conflicts, maybecertain folks in High Places would do well to read this little book andinternalize its simple truths.)

_The Land of the Blue Flower_ is veryenthusiastically recommended for hearts of all ages, and Kramer's gorgeousedition is sure to become a family favorite.

5-0 out of 5 stars An enchanted story which affirms beauty and life.
Though the story carries a brilliant message of hope for us all, if we canaffirm our connection with the earth, it is the lovely illustrations thatbring homethis heart-felt promise.

On almost every page of this classictale the artist has embellished the authors words with delightful andimaginative representations of the story.

For a timeless message ofhope treat your children and yourself to this book. ... Read more

Once, as she tossed on her cot-bed, she broke into a low little laugh to think how untrue things really were and how strange it was that people did not understand--that even she felt as she lay in the darkness that she could not get away. And she could not get away unless the train would stop just long enough to let her fall asleep. If she could fall asleep between the trains, she would not awaken. But they came so quickly one after the other. ... Read more

I went to tea under the big apple-tree. It was very big and old and wonderful. No wonder Mr. MacNairn and his mother loved it. Its great branches spread out farther than I had ever seen the branches of an apple-tree spread before. They were gnarled and knotted and beautiful with age. Their shadows upon the grass were velvet, deep and soft. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Classic novel dealing with the afterlife
Why this book is out-of-print is anyone's guess!This lovely novella, written by the author of the ever-popular Little Lord Fauntleroy and The Secret Garden, is a classic dealing with life after death.After her first son's untimely death, Burnett delved into spiritualism and found this a great comfort in dealing with her grief.This was a subject she was interested in for the rest of her life.During World War I, Burnett finally got a chance to put her beliefs about what happens after death into writing.The story involves a young woman with unusual insight living as a semi-recluse in the Scottish Highlands finding the love of her life.The White People is very evocative of life in the Highlands and is also a fictionalized validation of life after death.This is an old-fashioned, innocent tale that will warm your heart.Anyone tired of the graphic type of novel currently popular should certainly give this a try.Highly recommended. ...

No man knew when the Shuttle began its slow and heavy weaving from shore to shore, that it was held and guided by the great hand of Fate. Fate alone saw the meaning of the web it wove, the might of it, and its place in the making of a world's history. Men thought but little of either web or weaving, calling them by other names and lighter ones. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful ArtfullyTold Story!
I have a 1907 edition of this book that I love.. I've read it several times and each time I savour the language and the world that Frances Hodgeson Burnett described before the First World War: a world of English village streets with sound of carts clattering past hawthorn hedges and brash young American boys bicyling in buttonup boots and celluloid collars up the pleached alleys of country estates.
I think that the previous reviewer has unfortunetely missed much of the subtlety of the story, painting it in almost comicbook colours. It's "comfort reading" for adults who grew up making friends with Little Lord Fauntleroy and a Secret Garden. This is a novel that celebrates the goodness of people and cultures on both sides of the Atlantic in tender and funny ways that remind me of Lousia May Alcott's books and in the end, metes out justice in very satisfying ways. You might also want to see if you can find F H Burnett's "T. Tembarom" --which is, as her characters themselves might put it,a "bang-up" book as well.

5-0 out of 5 stars An old-fashioned page turner
The book is set in the 19th century, but the heroine, Bettina Vanderpoel of the filthy rich New York Vanderpoels, is no shrinking violet. That role is left to her older sister, sweet and not overly bright Rosalie. The story starts out with Rosalie being courted by and married to Sir Nigel Anstruthers, an impoverished English aristocrat on the make for a rich wife. Although she is only eight at the time, Betty hates Sir Nigel. Her instincts are on the money. Sir Nigel is a rotter, a blackguard, a cad, and a bounder. He is utterly infuriated that he did not automatically gain control of Rosalie's money when he married her. He and his equally appalling mother start a loathsome campaign of emotional abuse that gentle Rosalie is not equal to. Luckily, by chapter five it is 12 years later and Bettina has grown into a fine, strong-minded woman who has all the business sense that made the Vanderpoel fortune. The rest of the book tells us how she rescues her sister, her nephew, and the Anstruthers estate from Sir Nigel. The hero of the book is another impoverished aristocrat, but cut from genuinely noble cloth, even if most of his ancestors were of the Sir Nigel type.
Before the book is over, Bettina will be trapped, injured, and at the mercy of Sir Nigel, who has Perfectly Awful plans for the lovely lady. Will Bettina wring her hands helplessly and beg?
Don't be silly.Read and see how love, virtue, and justice triumph and Sir Nigel gets his. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Poor Printing
The company's service was good, but the book itself was full of printing errors.A large speech was absent at the end, and I caught that only because I'd looked it up; the ending made no sense without it.There was also computer code on the pages here and there in the middle of text. I definitely don't recommend this publisher's version of the book.

1-0 out of 5 stars Cheap print job
This is an example of the difficulties of shopping online.
I had read the book several years ago and wanted to give a volume as a gift.This printing is unacceptable - unpleasant font, cramped pages and flimsy binding.You will do better with the purchase of a used hardcover volume

5-0 out of 5 stars A Gentle Story
I have always loved "A Little Princess" and "The Secret Garden," but I had not even heard of this book until recently.It is the simple and gentle story of how a little boy's innocence and belief that everyone is good transforms his miserly and cruel grandfather into an admirable man.If you enjoy Burnett's other stories, this one is not to be missed.

5-0 out of 5 stars Right up there with "A Little Princess" and "The Secret Garden"
When I was little, two of my favorite books were A Little Princess and The Secret Garden (HarperClassics) by Frances Hodgson Burnett. When I grew up, they were still favorites. So a year ago when I was buying them for my little cousin, and I noticed "Little Lord Fauntleroy", I was astounded. How did I miss such a gem?

The story of little Cedric who warms his old grandfather's heart is beautifully written and quite touching. There is also a lesson to be learned, as we watch what Cedric does with his newfound wealth. What would you do if you were suddenly gifted with such a fortune? This story is perfect for anyone who enjoyed "A Little Princess" or "The Secret Garden"!

1-0 out of 5 stars A Little Disappointment
I wanted this for a long time, and finally received it yesterday from my Amazon Wishlist.

This is the first audio book that I actually find difficult to listen to. The sound quality of this CD is so poor and scratchy that I could be listening to an old radio broadcast. I do not feel as if I am sitting in a room listening to a wonderful story unfold...it's more like I'm listening to a conversation on a cell phone. It actually hurts my ears to listen to this recording.

Every time the reader says any word with the letter "s" the hiss goes right to your brain. I'm not kidding. I still have a headache.

Octavia was accustomed to entering rooms full of strangers. She had spent several years of her life in hotels, where she had been stared out of countenance by a few score new people every day. She was even used to being, in some sort, a young person of note. It was nothing unusual for her to know that she was being pointed out.
