"Wild Flowers of Fancy: A Brochure by Lemuel Augustus Smith, published in 1902 by The Abbey Press, is a rare and obscure work that combines poetry and prose with a focus on romantic and pastoral themes. True to its title, the book draws inspiration from nature, weaving imagery of wildflowers and landscapes into its verses and reflections.

The Abbey Press, active in the early 20th century, was known for producing small, decorative editions that often catered to niche literary audiences. This particular work exemplifies the sentimental and introspective style popular at the turn of the century, with its emphasis on the beauty of the natural world and the emotional resonance it inspires.
