Crow makes a call -- Moon before snowfall -- Up McIntosh lane -- Squirrel finds a live nut -- Miss Hickory' good deed -- Barn news -- Runaway fawn -- Wild-heifer's supper party -- Now Christmas comes -- Ground hog sees his shadow -- Miss Hickory takes to the air -- Bull frog loses his clothes -- Homeless again -- Squirrel takes revenge -- Anything can happen.

Miss Hickory is very worried. Her owner has moved to Boston, and how can Miss Hickory survive a harsh New Hampshire winter all alone? After all, she is just a doll whose body is an apple-wood twig and whose head is a hickory nut, and whose house is make out of corncobs. But Miss Hickory has ingenuity, and the help of neighbors like Crow, Bull Frog, and Ground Hog to see her through. And near the end of those cold, dark months, something unexpected happens to Miss Hickory--something even more welcome than the coming of spring.
