The tenth booklet in the Good Child’s Library turns the parables of the Gospels into short ballad stanzas that children could read and remember. The barren fig tree, the sower, the lost sheep and other stories are told in plain rhyme, each followed by its lesson, in the hope that young readers would come to find the Bible a readable book.
A small piece of nineteenth-century Sunday reading, of interest to collectors of early children’s books. Download the free EPUB.
