When Rosalie, a poor but bright girl, turns up on the doorstep of his ramshackle castle, the Baron allows her to stay in exchange for tending his garden and cleaning up after his spoiled daughter, Kate. Rosalie loves flowers and is willing to work hard, but she also has a secret: a collection of magical seeds. Soon the garden is blooming again, and the Baron’s old servant teaches Rosalie to read and write, although the Baron and Kate have never bothered to learn to read or write more than their names. Prince Valor falls in love with Rosalie and her garden, but the Baron hopes a marriage between Kate and the Prince will restore his riches. Much to the prince’s shock, Kate reveals that she’s never learned to read or write. The Baron is embarrassed, but instead of punishing his lazy daughter, he banishes the innocent Rosalie. Rosalie finds herself imprisoned by an evil forest witch. Prince Valor is determined to save her, but Rosalie herself will have to use her smarts and a few more enchanted flowers to complete the rescue mission.In The Prince and the Flowers, a fun cast of original fairy tale characters teaches children an important lesson: learning to read and write and hard work bring greater happiness than riches or royal titles.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
