God put every different part in the body just as he wanted it to be. (1 Corinthians 12:17, 18).
The four stories in the Hedgerow Tales have been retold from Mrs. Gatty's "Parables of Nature", First published in 1855 Mrs. Gatty was a children's writer, and also a keen naturalist, who used stories from the world of nature to illustrate and communicate truth about God and his purposes.
