Publisher's Synopsis
On the great western prairies of Dakota is a little town called Edgeley, because it is on the edge of civilization-a very big word which means some folks have found a bet-ter way to live than other folks. The Edgeley people have a good way to live, for there are almost seventeen wood-en houses there, and among them is a school-house, a church, a store and a blacksmith-shop. If people walked out their front doors they were upon the little street; if they walked out the back doors they were on the broad prairies. That was why Twinkle, who was a farmer's little girl, lived so near the town that she could easily walk to school.
