Charming story of a young farm girl who prefers daydreaming to hard work on the farm. Clara is first attracted to books when she encounters them at the country store where the shopowner announces that anyone can borrow them for free. Papa, however, says "no". When the travelling bookwagon meets Clara on her farm, the librarian agrees to talk to Papa about letting Clara learn to read. Set in the midi-late 1800s in Maryland.
