An enchanting and mysterious tale of a far away land where a young king transforms his kingdom with a blue flower and some positive thinking. It is a story of love and the beauty of nature where the young king is taught by an old and sacred man what love means and how it can transform the world AUTHOR Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924) was an English-born author of romances and books for children.

She is best known for such stories as Little Lord Fauntleroy, The Little Princess, and The Secret Garden. DETAILS Alcazar AudioWorks publishes solely unabridged works. ISBN: 9780972499576 Length: 1 hr and 1 min COMMENTARY Quotes about The Land of the Blue Flower 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 physical depletion and have always felt uplifted and enlivened by its positive message and exquisite artwork. The book came to me in a strange, ""Heaven-directed"" way, during a time of immense grief over the death of a relative. I was ripe for its insightful messages that, ""If you fill your mind with a beautiful thought, there will be no room for an ugly one""; and ""There is no time for anger..."" I have always been bolstered by this particular edition, so gracefully illustrated by 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 a sort of shorthand-code between me and cherished friends/relatives; and on special occasions, we sometimes exchange ""blue flowers"" as a colorful 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, and grudges."" (Given current global upheavals and conflicts, maybe certain folks in High Places would do well to read this little book and internalize its simple truths.) The Land of the Blue Flower is very enthusiastically recommended for hearts of all ages (Amazon.com) ""There is no time for anger."" this phrase has a wonderful meaning and is the center of the story. The Land of the Blue Flower is about a prince raised in the mountains by a an old scholar after his mothers death. he learns to respect nature and about the power of love. This is a GREAT read that EVERYONE should read. just buy it! (Amazon.com) "

One of his most enchanting works is the Story of the 'King of Root Valley and his Curious Daughter', which tells the tale of a race of elves whose princess is curious about the ways of men. Realising that she cannot live among the big people, she vows only to marry someone her own size who resembles the human prince she fell in love with. When a toy-merchant's cart overturns next to a magic spring which can bring inanimate objects to life and a nutcracker and a harlequin puppet fall into the enchanted waters, the scene is set for a very unusual romance.

The Jungle Books II

The great panther leaped as a kitten leaps at a dead leaf whirling overhead, struck left and right into the empty air that sung under the strokes, landed noiselessly and leaped again and again, while the half purr, half growl gathered head as steam rumbles in a boiler. ' I am Bagheera-- in the jungle-- in the night, and my strength is in me. Who shall stay my stroke?' -- from " Letting in the Jungle" For Rudyard Kipling, the jungle was at once a fierce and an infinitely gentle place. The Noah' s Ark assortment of animal characters that populate his stories are endowed with personality and temperament-- their human counterparts are not difficult to recognize. Even Mowgli, the wolf-child, is secondary to the magnetism and allure of the jungle and its exotic creatures. Part Two includes the following stories: How Fear Came; The Law of the Jungle; The Miracle of Purun Bhagat; A Song of Kabir; Letting in the Jungle; Mowgli' s Song Against People; The Undertakers; A Ripple Song; The King' s Ankus; The Song of the Little Hunter; Quiquern; Angutivun Tina; Red Dog; Chil' s Song, The Spring Running; and The Outsong.
