Little Lady Mary, daughter of the Governor of Canada, asks her nurse Mrs. Frazer about everything she sees, from a pet flying squirrel to sleigh robes, otter skins and wild rice. In return come stories of wolves, squirrels at the mill, Indian villages, baskets, maple sugar and the plants and animals of the backwoods.
