About This Book

Martha is a lively six-year-old who dreams of being as poised as her older sister, Grisie, but her curious spirit often leads her into playful mischief across the rolling hills of Scotland. Between chasing after her brothers and imagining magical fairies at the dinner table, Martha’s adventures bring the past to life. Journey back to a spirited childhood that shaped the great-grandmother of Laura Ingalls Wilder in this charming tale of family and wonder.
