The story centers on a gardener named James and his young daughter Mary. Their simple, joyful life is interrupted when Mary is accused of theft. During the trial, Mary maintains her innocence and tells the truth, in spite of great pressure. But Mary and her father are convicted as thief and accomplice and begin their sentence for the crime. Throughout their sentence, James encourages Mary with lessons from nature about the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and continues to prepare her for what is to come. The constant demeanor and unchanging attitude of the characters in this little book is a source of substantial encouragement to modern listeners.

Basket of Flowers

Written by Blenda Mason Pierce from Kapaa, HI on May 11th, 2005

  • Book Rating: 5/5

This book does have an author and his name is Christoph von Schmid written in 1823. A wonderful story of a 15 year old girl named Mary whose widowed father (a gardener) teaches her the principles of godly living through his flowers. She is falsely accused of stealing, and the penalty is death. Mary remembers what her father taught her: that it is better to die for the truth than to live for a lie ... to find out the outcome you must read! This is especially good for young girls 8 - 15 years old.
