The Basket of Flowers a Tale for the Young

Meer over het boek

James, the king's gardener, teaches his fifteen-year-old daughter Mary all the principles of godliness through his flowers. She is falsely accused of stealing, and the penalty is death. Mary remembers her father had taught her: that it is better to die for the truth than to live for a lie, and that the worst pillow to sleep on is the pillow of a guilty conscience.
