A lovely little book, likely dating from the 1880's or 1890's. The title is Flowers from Foriegn Fields, also listed as Florestine or Unexpected Joy. The author is listed as Father Charles.
There is an inscription inside the front cover that reads, "To Theresa Mary Brook, from her Godmother Elizabeth Calderbauck, June 20th 1884, wishing you a happy birthday"
The book does have some damage to the cover as well as some water damage on the front and back inside flap. The first few 10-20 pages show wear and dirt on the bottom; the rest are cleaner. The side gilding of the pages has worn.
