About the Author

This children story-book is based on the many “talks to the children” given by Reverend Douglas Murray of Edinburgh, Scotland, during his numerous years as the Minister of the Scots Kirk in Lausanne Switzerland. It was recorded and patiently transcribed by Vreni Gehring-Hefti, a loving Swiss grandmother of seven.
