The Peacock At Home And The Butterfly�������s Ball And The Grasshopper Feast is a charming children's book written by Catherine Ann Turner Dorset in 1854. The book is a collection of two stories, both of which are filled with delightful characters and whimsical adventures.In the first story, The Peacock At Home, readers are introduced to a proud and haughty peacock who invites all of his animal friends to a grand feast at his home. As the guests arrive, they are amazed by the peacock's beautiful home and lavish decorations. However, as the night wears on, the peacock's true colors are revealed, and his guests begin to see him in a new light.The second story, The Butterfly�������s Ball And The Grasshopper Feast, tells the tale of a magical ball held in a beautiful garden. The guests at the ball are all insects, and each one is dressed in their finest attire. The story follows the adventures of a young butterfly named Miss Fanny, who is swept up in the excitement of the ball and the many wonders of the garden.Throughout both stories, Dorset's vivid descriptions and charming illustrations bring the characters and settings to life, making this book a timeless classic that is sure to delight readers of all ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
