The Lily And The Bee

- An Apologue Of The Crystal Palace (1851)

Bag om The Lily And The Bee

""The Lily and the Bee"" is a classic fable written by Samuel Warren in 1851. The story is set in the Crystal Palace, which was a grand exhibition hall built in London for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The fable tells the story of a bee who is attracted to the beauty of a lily in the palace's garden. The bee is so focused on collecting nectar from the flower that it fails to notice the danger of a spider lurking nearby. The lily, on the other hand, is content to simply bask in the sun and be admired for its natural beauty. The fable is a metaphor for the dangers of being too focused on material possessions and not appreciating the simple pleasures in life. It also highlights the importance of balance and the need to appreciate both the practical and aesthetic aspects of life. The book is beautifully illustrated and is a timeless tale that is still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
