As such, it’s much more of a conglomeration of disjointed memories rather than a narrative with a storyline, as we get in the more mature, subsequent books.Īnd that works fine. Little House in the Big Woods is set in 1871–2, opening when LIW was four, about to turn five, years old.
So I decided to go ahead and purchase the series (minus Farmer Boy and The First Four Years-neither of which I enjoy reading) as ebooks. but recently that tradition has been replaced with re-reading most, if not all, of the Harry Potter books (on audio, usually as I’m going to sleep to give my brain something to focus on instead of being scattered and keeping me awake.) I have the original 1971 set (yes, it’s the same age I am) that we had growing up-the paperbacks with the yellow covers-but they’re so old and brittle that I’m afraid of damaging them further from their well-loved, well-read state. The nine Little House books are inspired by Laura’s own childhood and have been cherished by generations of readers as both a unique glimpse into America’s frontier history and as heartwarming, unforgettable stories.Īs mentioned yesterday, I decided it was high time for me to do a re-read of the Little House on the Prairie books this year. And every night Laura and her family are safe and warm in their little house, with the happy sound of Pa’s fiddle to send them off to sleep. Pioneer life is sometimes hard for the family, but it is also exciting as they celebrate Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do the spring planting, bring in the harvest, and make their first trip into town. Four-year-old Laura lives in the little house with her Pa, her Ma, her sisters Mary and Carrie, and their dog, Jack.
This beloved story of a pioneer girl and her family begins in 1871 in a log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. The first book in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s treasured Little House series-now available as an ebook! This digital version features Garth Williams’s classic illustrations, which appear in vibrant full color on a full-color device and in rich black-and-white on all other devices.
