Is there a reason for the capitals on "Little House"?

I adopted this sentence because "upon" was separated in the original. It read "up on". I can't read Japanese so I decided to leave Little House alone, but I think it would be better to put it in lower case. Thanks.

it's probably taken from a children's story, "Little House" is perhaps the main character?

If "Little house" were a proper name, it wouldn't be preceded by the indefinite article.

good point

With the capitals now gone, this is probably generic enough to be kept.
