Favorite Resources for Catholic Homeschoolers - Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink (742 words) |
 | Caddie's father was the grandson of an English Lord, but as his mother was from the lower classes, his father was disowned and the family grew up impoverished. |
| Caddie's mother still does have an influence on her daughter and over the course of the story (in which Caddie is 11 years old) Caddie begins to develop a sense of what it means to be a lady, despite her rough ways. |
| This is a delightful collection of additional stories about Caddie Woodlawn and her family (and one additional story as explained in the introduction that doesn't quite belong). |

Review: Caddie Woodlawn (455 words) |
| Caddie's family lives in the more settled territory of Wisconsin, however, and she and her brothers seem to spend their time playing in the woods and visiting the local natives rather than working at laborious chores all day. |
| Caddie's father decided to use Caddie in an experiment--he would let her "run wild" with her brothers to see if that improved her health; all the other girls in the family would be raised "properly" by their mother. |
| Caddie and her two brothers careen from one adventure to the next, in a style that feels very much like the memories of a favorite relative--sometimes random, but mostly enjoyable. |
