About this book
The Land of the Blue Flower by Frances Hodgson Burnett says the land was not called by that name until the tall, strong, beautiful King Amor came down from his castle on the mountain crag and began to reign. The land was earlier called King Mordreth's Land, which seemed a gloomy name since the first King Mordreth had been a fierce and cruel king.
The Queen holds out her newborn child and asks that he be taken to the castle on the mountain crag and kept there until he is old enough to come down and be King. The Ancient One takes King Amor from the folds of his gray robe and lays him on the carpet of scented moss, saying that the stars are very near and that he should know they are his brothers. The text says that nobody smiled because every one hated or distrusted his neighbor, and that the people dreaded and disliked the young King because all the King Mordreths had been evil and selfish.
