Winter Fun by William O. Stoddard
"Winter Fun" by William O. Stoddard is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around two families—the Farnhams and the Stebbins—who engage in various winter activities, presenting a charming depiction of rural life during the cold season. The young characters, including cousins Porter and Susie from the city and the local boys Corry and Vosh, navigate their contrasting backgrounds while enjoying winter sports, sleigh rides, and icefishing.

Meanwhile, the Farnham family is excitedly waiting for their relatives to arrive, showcasing their warmth and hospitality. The opening scenes set the tone for a cozy winter atmosphere filled with anticipation and familial love, while introducing us to the characters' dynamics. The narrative promises adventure and fun as the characters participate in activities like rabbit-hunting, ice fishing, and enjoying hearty winter meals together, ultimately celebrating the joys and challenges of winter in the countryside.
