The Story of Mary Jones and Her Bible by Mary E. Ropes

Heartwarming, real life story of Mary Jones, a young girl living in rural Wales in the late 1700s / early 1800s. 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. 15-year-old Welsh girl named Mary Jones trekked 26 long miles through the rugged terrain of north Wales to buy a Welsh Bible. Mary was so determined to have a Bible of her own, in her own language, that she had saved up for six long years before her walk to Bala. The Bible left Bala in Mary's hands over two hundred and twenty years ago. The Bible is kept in Bible Society's archives at Cambridge University
