Product Description

Heartwarming, real life story of Mary Jones, a young girl living in rural Wales in the late 1700s.

Mary was a popular girl who loved her parents, worked hard and was keen to learn but most of all she longed to have a bible of her own. But Mary knew that bibles were hard to come by and if she was fortunate enough to find one, it would be expensive so her dearest wish looked as if it would be an impossible dream!

But, after six years of saving hard she sets off to walk a round trip of 50 miles on her bare feet, in the hope that she will be able to buy a bible and bring it home.

Mary's dream comes true and her dedication to God and determination to get a copy of His word inspires the setting up of the 'British and Foreign Bible Society'.

An inspiring story of a young girl's commitment to God and love for His word.

Poor Value

I would not recommend this book for children. Written in an antiquated style, and poorly proofread, this uninspiring book was not worth the money paid. I hope other books in the same Classics series are not as poorly written. I can't imagine any child reading it to himself or herself and continuing to the end. I read it to my two grandchildren but I wondered whether they would even sit still to listen. What a poor legacy to the memory of Mary Jones because the author could have written it in a much more child-friendly style which would have given inspiration not disappointment. Yes, it gave facts to anyone not knowing the story behind the unique 'maiden' and her quest for a Bible and the subsequent founding of the British and Foreigh Bible Society, but what was needed was a biography written to inspire and this definitely was not one of those.
