This follow-up to 'The Little House Sampler' contains some of Mary's poems and Grace's diary entries, along with a school composition of Ma's; more of Laura's articles on farm life and two dozen or so of her poems, the majority written in high school and all, in the heyday of parlor poetry, pleasantly free of mush or gush. Photos of the families and farms, and annotations by the compiler will help out young readers.
