The book is based on an old Scottish folk song the author heard from her grandfather as a child.
Kindhearted Scotland native Lachie MacLachlan lives in a small cottage with his wife and ten children. Whenever a traveler passes by during a storm, Lachie, despite the small space of his home, allows them to stay. Soon, the home is filled with a nast number of travelers, but the house is unable to handle so many guests and falls apart. Afterwards, the guests build an even larger house for Lachie and his family, and the tale ends with Lachie continuing to welcome travelers into his home.
