内容概要
"Once upon a time there was a Little House way out in the
country. She was a pretty Little House and she was strong and well
built." So begins Virginia Lee Burton's classic The Little House,
winner of the prestigious Caldecott Medal in 1942. The rosy-pink
Little House, on a hill surrounded by apple trees, watches the days
go by, from the first apple blossoms in the spring through the
winter snows. Always faintly aware of the city's distant lights,
she starts to notice the city encroaching on her bucolic existence.
First a road appears, which brings horseless carriages and then
trucks and steamrollers. Before long, more roads, bigger homes,
apartment buildings, stores, and garages surround the Little House.
Her family moves out and she finds herself alone in the middle of
the city, where the artificial lights are so bright that the Little
House can no longer see the sun or the moon. She often dreams of
"the field of daisies and the apple trees dancing in the
moonlight." Finally a woman recognizes her and whisks the Little
House back to the country where she belongs, they will rejoice. For
generations, young readers have been delighted by the whimsical,
detailed drawings and happy ending.
