Twenty-nine Victorian moral fables.
Rearranged to match the Ambleside Online reading order, this collection features Margaret Gatty's classic parables that use nature to teach us about God and faith. This edition includes the original chapter heading and ending illustrations.
Margaret Gatty was an English writer of children's literature. She became a highly useful and popular writer of tales for young people.
Many of the stories within contain memorable and commonsense examples of acting the right way.
An overarching lesson in most of these tales is having respect and taking joy in the Earth in which we are born. Born in England in 1809, Margaret Gatty realized her interests in both writing and the natural world from a young age.
Collected here are twenty nine stories, originally published as four separate volumes. Parables From Nature are inspired from nature, but written in a fun and entertaining way for children to be able to read, understand, and enjoy!
