When a generous quiltmaker finally agrees to make a quilt for a greedy king but only under certain conditions, she causes him to undergo a change of heart.
Product Description
In this enchantingly told original folktale, a wise quiltmaker makes the most beautiful quilts in the world – but she will give them only to those who have nothing.
When a rich, dissatisfied king insists that she give him one of her quilts, she gives him what seems an impossible task: to give away all he owns. One by one, the king gives away his many possessions, and finds that the more he gives away, the happier he is.
Finally, when the king has nothing, the quilt maker gives him the promised quilt. But he knows that the true reward for his generosity has been the smiles of those he has helped.
The Quiltmaker’s Gift is a heartwarming, strongly moral tale that supports important values. The detailed illustrations, featuring dozens of lovingly rendered quilt patterns, offer hours of delight.
