An incredible story and “new favorite!” Little Henry is taken hostage by a band of robbers and lives for years in a deep, dark cave. When he stumbles upon a crevice in the wall, he escapes to the land above and experiences with wonder the brilliance of the sun and the magnificence of the vast blue sky. Through the friendship of a shepherd, he learns about the miracle of a tiny seed and the expression of love it represents. This creative work will give you a fresh appreciation for the natural wonders of creation that we so often take for granted.

About the Author:
Christoph von Schmid (1768-1854) was the pioneer writer of books for children, and his stories have been translated into twenty-four languages. He is regarded as the greatest educator Bavaria (Germany) produced in the eighteenth century.

When he began writing stories for the children in his own life in the late 1700s, he did not consider making them available to the general public. In 1841, he published his writings in twenty-four volumes. In his introduction of this set, he explained that he most often read these stories to children after school as a reward, on the condition that they would write the story down at home. In this way, he became familiar with the patterns of thought and speech of children, and learned what impressed their minds and hearts.
