Parables from Nature is an important collection of stories by
Margaret Gatty. This publication, being the complete collection of
parables for children and inspired by nature includes all
twenty-nine stories from four originally published volumes, and
presented here in one single volume. This is an excellent book for
those interested in obtaining this complete collection of Parables
from Nature and for those who are fans of the writing of author
Margaret Gatty.
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.
