Little Lady Mary, living in Canada, is full of questions, and her nurse Mrs. Frazer answers them from long experience of the backwoods. Their conversations range over flying squirrels and wolves, sleighs and fur robes, wild rice and maple sugar, Canadian birds, and the baskets, quillwork and embroidery of the Indigenous women of the region.
