Schoolroom in the Parlor

School in the Kentucky hills goes from August to the last Friday before Christmas. After that the snows are too high, and later, the thawing rivers too full, for the Fairchild children, and their neighbors, the Wattersons, the Sawyers, and the Huffs to make it safely to the little school house in the woods.

Now that Althy is fourteen, Mr. Fairchild has other plans for the long winter months. Learn, along with Bonnie, Debbie, Chris and Emmy, what it is like to have school at home in the early 1900s.

Kentucky, early 1900s.

Good and the Beautiful review:

One of my daughter’s personal favorites, this series of sweet books depicts wholesome family life in the Kentucky Hills in the early 1900s. An Amazon review fittingly states: “Makes you long for a more simple time, when reading and spending time with family was a priority.” Rebecca Caudill is a fantastic writer and tells these stories with a fresh, joyful spirit.
