Mother Goose in Prose - Mistress Mary

In which a little girl named Mary, left alone with her mother while her sailor father and brothers voyage afar, lovingly tends a garden of cowslips, dingle-bells, and cockle-shells, naming each flower for her absent family. Through gentle visits from the kindly Squire and heartfelt reflections on nature’s ways, Mary learns patience and comfort watching the wild flowers bloom and fade until the promised return of her loved ones.
