Description

It's 1845, and Caroline Quiner lives in a little frame house in the frontier town of Brookfield, Wisconsin. Each day brings new adventures for Caroline as she helps Mother, Grandma, and her five brothers and sisters run the family farm.

The Caroline Chapter Books are gentle adaptations of the Caroline Years novels. They, introduce beginning readers to Caroline Quiner, the little girl who would grow up to be Laura Ingalls Wilder's mother.

The Caroline Chapter Books are part of an ongoing series of Little House Chapter Books.

She did extensive research on the Quiner, Ingalls, and Wilder families, studied original sources and family letters and diaries, and worked in close consultation with several historians and the Laura Ingalls Wilder estate as she wrote the Caroline Years books. She lives in New Jersey with her husband, Peter, and her daughters, Grace and Natalie.

Doris Ettlinger, a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, has illustrated many books for children. She lives in Warren County, New Jersey.
