Flower Fables

Charles L. Gary · 1978
57/100
👎 Skip It

A gentle 1978 illustrated fable collection blending flower folklore with Eastern legends — it sounds charming and it exists as a genuine collectible, but it's extremely obscure with no critical documentation and limited availability. The illustrated vintage-book appeal is real for the right buyer, but as a reading recommendation there's simply not enough documented evidence of its quality to clear the worth-it bar.
