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 1900’s. Illustrated by Decie Merwin. This is the fourth book in the Fairchild Family Series.  The first book in the series is Happy Little Family.  The second book in the series is Schoolhouse in the Woods.  The third book in the series is Up and Down the River.
