A group of children are required to stay inside their Grandmother's house due to bad weather, which leads to a narrative of beautifully written short stories told by their grandmother as she teaches them to use a vintage spinning-wheel. Focusing on themes of strength and bravery, these children's stories are perfect for family bedtime reading and feature Alcott's iconic writing style.
