The Blossoms of Morality Intended for the Amusement and Instruction of Young Ladies and Gentlemen

"The Blossoms of Morality" by M. (Arnaud) Berquin is a collection of stories for young people from the 1800s that teaches important lessons through entertaining tales. The book uses characters like Ernestus and Fragilis to show how different types of parenting can affect a child’s life, highlighting the importance of things like hard work and being responsible. One story shows two boys who are raised very differently, and as they grow up, their lives show how good guidance and discipline can lead to a better outcome. The overall goal of the book is to help young readers think about their own actions and values while enjoying interesting stories.
