| Summary | "The Blossoms of Morality" by M. Berquin and R. Johnson is a collection of moral tales intended for the amusement and instruction of young readers, written in the early 19th century. This work aims to instill values of wisdom, virtue, and ethical conduct through various stories that explore the effects of upbringing and character development in children. The narrative intertwines lessons with characters like Ernestus and Fragilis, contrasting different approaches to parenting and their consequences on the children's lives. The opening of the book introduces the narrative style and outlines its purpose of guiding youth through entertaining yet educational tales. The initial story, "Ernestus and Fragilis," follows two boys raised under different circumstances: Ernestus, who is nurtured with love and discipline, and Fragilis, who is indulged and suffers from the consequences of lax parenting. As they grow, their divergent paths illustrate the significance of resilience, responsibility, and moral guidance. The preface also emphasizes that the several stories included will not just entertain but also provide the youthful reader with critical reflections on their values and behaviors, making them more aware of the world around them.
