Parables from Nature

(3.4 stars; 276 reviews)

Parables From Nature is a collection of short stories which were originally published as 4 separate volumes. They are inspired from Nature and written for children. Nevertheless, Gatty uses children's literature because she knows that in doing so, she can reach a wider group of readers and point out problems from the Victorian Age.

Andrew Murray spoke of this author in one of his books which was put together when he taught at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. He told about the Hearth Cricket finding his place in life.
