About this book
An oak tree full of birds becomes a small community of neighbours in Gertrude P. Dyer's collection of Christian parables. In the opening tale, a forget-me-not tells of two young wrens whose nest attracts help and interest from the other birds. Their shared happiness gives way to distress when the father bird disappears, and a returning swallow brings news of his captivity. Flowers provide the thread connecting the collection's nine stories with lessons in fidelity, faith, gratitude, kindness, and hope.
Human hardship also enters these nature stories. Little Davie, who has spent days trapped in a mine, fears that the loss of his sight will keep him from earning a living for his mother. His love for an evening primrose links his troubles to the floral theme. Elsewhere, two London sparrows examine a seed and discuss how it was found. Written for young readers, these short tales combine talking creatures, family affection, and Christian teaching, offering a glimpse of how everyday encounters with nature become lessons about conduct and belief.
