Publisher's Description

These two short stories in one, "Roses and Thorns" and the shorter story, "Prison Roses", were regarded as one of the most appealing of the volumes published in the 1800's by the American Tract Society for the promotion of Christian character.

In the setting of Aunt Eleanor sharing stories from her rocking chair with her niece and nephew, the priority of integrity and honesty in all that we do shines forth about careless words, lost children, thunderstorms and thoughtful sisters.
