PUBLISHER'S NOTE

In putting forward a new edition of The Basket of Flowers noapology is needed. This charming story is now something of a children'sclassic, and the only merits that the publisher can claim for thepresent edition are variety in the manner of the illustration and theoutward design of the book. To these may be added, perhaps, the furtherclaim that in the present English version, which is copyright, some ofthe more glaring faults that mar the original translation are avoided.For the rest, it is hoped that the charm of the original has beenmaintained.
