Stowe honed her expressive skills on many of these before writing her first serious novel, <i>Uncle Tom's Cabin</i>, and 30 other books that followed. They showcase her considerable skill even as a young writer, and she made good money doing it, often supporting her family. This collection, named after a flower native to the east coast, likely the Anemone hepatica, or 'May flower', should not to be confused with another collection by Stowe, <i>The Mayflower</i>, which provides sketches of several descendants of the Pilgrims.</span><div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
