Margaret Gatty's parables celebrate the natural world and provision
life guidance: wise and attentive, their moral lessons are valuable
for persons of all ages. Many of the stories within contain
memorable and commonsense examples of acting the right way. Using
the beauty of nature as a medium for expression, the author
demonstrates the importance of good conduct and living a life by
firm principles. While the teachings are simple to grasp, the
author lavishes her stories with expressive language and
vocabulary, which serves to make the narrations easier to recall,
while offering a challenge for younger readers eager to improve
their English skills. Unconstrained by preconceived notions of
teaching, Margaret Gatty's fullest talents and instinctive
abilities are displayed in these parables. Not content merely with
dispensing lessons, the author wants readers to think and
appreciate the greatness of the outdoors and the majesty of nature.
