Beloved nineteenth-century priest and teacher Christoph von Schmid had a beautiful and engaging way of teaching important moral principles. He believed children learn and cherish these truths best when taught by the examples of relatable and admirable characters.
In this captivating tale, readers come to know honest Mary, with her beautifully woven basket of flowers that both condemns and liberates her. Facing difficult trials, she learns the value of trusting and loving God completely and witnessing the blessings that come when she puts Him before all else.
