Far, far away, the butterfly folk live in a kingdom of
beautiful gardens. The butterfly children play, dance,
and sing all day long with their little brothers and
sisters, the caterpillars.

The children can hardly wait until the first day of
spring, when they will finally get their wings. First,
however, they must learn about the many brightly
colored flowers in the kingdom, so they can take
part in the flying procession of peacock, swallowtail,
red admiral, and many other butterflies.

Beautifully illustrated in the art nouveau style, this
is another classic children's story from the author
of The Story of the Wind Children and The Story of the Snow Children.
