Told from four-year-old Laura's point-of-view, this story begins in 1871
in a little log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. Laura
lives in the little house with her Pa, her Ma, her sisters Mary and
Carrie, and their trusty dog, Jack. Pioneer life is sometimes hard for
the family, since they must grow or catch all their own food as they get
ready for the cold winter. But it is also exciting as Laura and her
family celebrate Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do the spring
planting, bring in the harvest, and make their first trip into town. And
every night they are safe and warm in their little house, with the
happy sound of Pa's fiddle sending Laura and her sisters off to sleep
