Kate's Choice: Little House In the Highlands by Melissa Wiley



Title: Little House In The Highlands
Author: Melissa Wiley
Pages: 271
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Inc.
Year Published: 1999


"The little Hous books have captivated millions of readers with their story of  Laura Ingalls, a pioneer girl growing up on the American frontier. Now travel back three generations before Laura's  and read the story of Martha Morse, a little girl who would grow up to leave Scotland and start a new life in America, and who would become Laura Ingals Wilder's great-grandmother.
It's 1788, and six-year-old Martha lives in a little stone house in Clencaraid, Scotland. Martha's father is Laird Glencaraid, and the life of a laird's daughter is not always easy for a lively girl like Martha. She would rather be running barefoot through field of heather and listening to magical tales of fairies and other Wee Folk than learning to sew like a proper young lady. But between her dreaded sewing lessons, Martha still finds time to play on the rolling Scottish hills."
