Story
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.

A great story and well read
I read The Witch of Blackbird Pond years ago when I was 12, the best book I had read at the time. It got me interested in colonial history and folklore. I thought of this book recently and bought the Audible version. It was very well narrated by Mary Beth Hurt. She did a great job with the accents and portraying the different characters. I remembered the story as I listened and found that this is still one of my favourite books. Since it was written in the 1950s, it reflects how women and people of colour were seen at that time, so those details are now historical themselves. I noted how things have changed since it was written. I highly recommend this book for people of any age who like historical fiction with a credible storyline and characters.
