About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Parables from Nature, by Margaret Gatty. Read by Librivox volunteers. Parables From Nature is a collection of short stories which were originally published as 4 separate volumes. They are inspired from Nature and written for children. Nevertheless, Gatty uses children's literature because she knows that in doing so, she can reach a wider group of readers and point out problems from the Victorian Age. (Summary by sailormoon)
