'Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God.' These words of Elizabeth Browning are illustrated in the stories contained in this third book by Mari Jones of Llanymawddwy, North Wales, the author of the ever-popular IN THE SHADOW OF ARAN and IN THE SHELTER OF THE FOLD. Once again - with the help of her husband, John - she draws out spiritual truths from the common scenes and happenings of her surroundings on a Welsh hill farm, and that in a natural yet absorbing manner. In this new book the interest and emphasis expands somewhat from the world of shepherds, dogs and sheep to include the wider world of nature, with stories about rowan trees, dragonflies, swallows, carrion crows and the rare and beautiful red kite. It takes no prophet to be able to say that these country parables, as the previous ones, will (to quote the words of Martyn Lloyd-Jones of her first book) be a means of 'enlightening the mind, awakening the imagination and moving the heart'.
