A gem of a book, The Little House has delighted readers for more than sixty years and is an enchanting classic of American children's literature.

Seasons pass and the Little House on the hill watches the first robins return from the south, the daisies cover the hills, the first frost turn the leaves yellow, and the children coasting and skating on the snow. Slowly, the city lights in the distance grow closer and brighter, the children move away, and the Little House finds herself surrounded by gasoline stations, apartment houses, schools, and stores. She finds herself yearning for the "fields of daisies" and the "apple tree dancing in the moonlight." No one wanted to live in her and take care of her until, one day, the granddaughter of the original owner happened upon the Little House and returned her to her the hill in the country where she can watch the seasons pass and the stars twinkle above her roof.
