The Story of Jeremy Cricket (Hedgerow Tales)
whatever-things avatar reviewed on


The Story of Jeremy Cricket is about "the hearts true home" of the Christian -- heaven. The theme of the story is based on words from the Letter to the Hebrews: "This world is not our home, but we wait for one which is to come." (Hebrews 13:14)

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. Each of the stories has a particular theme, based on a verse from the New Testament of the Bible.
