Customer Review: This was an enjoyable, non-fiction read that Laura Ingalls Wilder fans will appreciate. The excerpts from letters, newspapers, and many references paint an interesting picture of the journey to create the Little House series. It was a unique perspective to focus on Wilder's life as an author, not... more info
Customer Review: This gorgeous book has pictures of all the places mentioned in the Little House books. William Anderson's narration is interesting, but the pictures carry this book. Good for LHOTP collections!
Customer Review: If you like Laura Ingalls Wilder and are interested in a "peak" at other adventures in their lives, this is a fun read. Otherwise, perhaps just a quick rental from your local library :)

I'll admit, the author did use some purple prose & got a little overly goopy in his descriptions, but it's a good book. Mostly,... more info
Customer Review: Boy I was born in the wrong era. In the 1900's they didn't have TV, Nintendo etc. They worked super hard, but also got together and helped each other.
