Commentary In Pursuance Of Books The Basket of Flowers: A Tale for the Young

Mary and her father live in a little cottage on the property of The Count of Eichbourg where Mary's father is a gardner. Mary's father maintains a beautiful garden for the Count. He has taught Mary his skills. When Mary is quite young her mother passes away. Mary's father teaches her about her Father in heaven every day of her life. Every instance in life is a teachable moment from the Scriptures. He has raised Mary to be a very honest and upright woman who loves the Lord and loves and serves her father well.

One day while Mary is out gathering Lily of the Valley's to brighten up their home the Counts daughter and wife come by. Feeling a desire to brighten their day Mary gives them the flowers she has gathered. There begins a friendship between Mary and the young Countess Amelia. When Mary presents Amelia with a lovely basket of flowers for her birthday Amelia gives Mary a lovely dress in return. With the gift Mary's father is concerned that Mary will become discontent and seek treasures of the world if she is not careful of her heart. He feels that the dress will bring his daughter trouble. He is soon proved correct.

Shortly after Mary returns home with the dress a ring is found to be missing from the Countesses bedroom. Mary is the only one that was in the rooms so it is assumed that she is the thief. She is carried off to jail in disgrace. With the testimony of a maid condemning her Mary and her father are soon banished from the village. All the while Mary has told the truth, even when threatened with death, that she did not steal the ring.

Throughout her time in jail and after being banished Mary and her father never falter in their faith in the Lord. There is no bitterness in them. They know that they are in the Lord's hands. Mary's father continues to teach her lessons of life through readings of Scripture. These lessons help to form Mary as a young girl and into womanhood, through trials and tribulations and through triumphs she never waivers in her faith.

Originally written in the 1700's The Basket of Flowers has been translated from German. I really enjoyed this tale of disgrace and triumph. Mary's father lived out the scripture, speaking of God's commands, "These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." Deut. 6: 6-9

What a blessing our children would have today if we were as faithful as Mary's father and taught our children God's truths from the time they are born!

Weigh Up Of Books The Basket of Flowers: A Tale for the Young

Definitely a book from long ago. The values of "put up with abuse" were very prevalent. I didn't like how there seemed to be no way for them to prove their innocence. But I did like the attitude the main characters took in knowing that the truth would set them free. Being in positions where I have been wrongly accused, however, made me upset that they didn't even have laws to safeguard against lies that completely took away their lives. That and the fact that no one stood up for them. Overall,

Anything we have listened to/read from Christoph von Schmid has been excellent. We listened to this audio from Lamplighter theatre about a year ago and we are looking forward to reading the book.Listened to the audio again. Love it! Ellie loves this one..krb 7/11/16

Amelia a young girl, is the protagonist in Christoph von Schmid's book 'A Basket of Flowers'. She is taught about the values of Christianity by her father, James, who is the nobility's gardener. Living with modesty and humbleness, Amelia one day is accused of stealing Countess's ring and is banished from her village with her father. Kindness and sincerity are rewarded in the end, the moral of this plot as her innocence is proved. Jetta, a jealous maid who framed Amelia bears the consequences of

Mary grows up sheltered and secure in a beautiful cottage with a loving father. She learns lessons about humility, purity and forgiveness under her father's watchful gaze. However, it doesn't last. Even though she loves God and obeys him this does not protect her ultimately from the envy and hatred of others. Mary is given a generous gift of a new dress from her friend Amelia, the daughter of the local landowner. This incites envy from Juliette, Amelia's maid who had wanted the dress for

Has excellent principles not just for children. One time it seemed to really drag on as the father was speaking to his daughter, but generally has very good values.It probably is an almost, soon to be totally forgotten work in this age that cares nothing for what is good and right. That wants nothing but it's lusts fulfilled.The only fault I found is that if you expose your little one to this book, they will not receive the most important message of all. The message that Jesus Christ died on the

This is a simple story about a simple girl MARY.This is very touching story,but this contains the moral of life.Mary's father teaches her to be honest and to remember the ALMIGHTY in every circumstances.He compares every situation with some flower,this is written very beautifully. Some quotes-"May you, my dearchild, be like the violet, modest in your demeanour, careless of gaudy clothing, and seeking to do good without making any fuss about it"...."Take care, my dear Mary, that you fall not into

It is a book full of lessons. In it are upheld the moral standards that are despised in our present world. James raises his family(Mary) in the fear of God, making her see God's beauty and greatness in everything around her. Mary's filial peity, humility, truthfulness, hopeful resignation and prayerfulness touches me as a youth. I've read this book since I was a little child(over 14 years now) sometimes several times a day, yet each time I read it, I shed tears as if I'm reading it for the first
