    Kate Greenaway

    Kate Greenaway (1846–1901) was an English artist and writer, best known for her work in children’s books. Her slightly fantastical illustrations highlight the innocence of childhood, and her depictions of Regency era fashion were adapted into children’s clothing designs.

      I was lucky to get this book for the Early Reviews. This book was great. It tells the story of a girl who was a product of the flawed foster care system. The characters were well developed and I became attached to them while reading this book. The use of the flowers to communicate was the unique feature of this book. If you are looking for a love story set in real life, this book is for you.
    • 5/5
      From its wonderful cover (simple but elegant) to the wonderful characters this book is one that I enjoyed immensely. It is such a unique concept to use the language of flowers as a form of communication and I liked learning the meanings of these flowers. All of us have baggage from the past we try to deal with and it was heartbreaking yet joyful to watch Victoria struggle and than to grow as a person and someone who is able to accept and give love. Readers of Anne River Siddons, Elizabeth Berg and Anita Shreve will love this book.
    • 5/5
      This lovely little book is filled with cute illustrations, tucked about throughout. It is a guide to flower meanings during the 1800s, and nice to have since most people don't know anything any more beyond "Rosemary is for remembrance." With this you can send a friend a message of friendship or plan a wedding bouquet with actual meaning.
