Read Series: Little House
by Author Laura Ingalls Wilder
On the Way Home: The Diary of a Trip from South Dakota to Mansfield, Missouri, in 1894 (1976)
I read “On the Way Home” when I was a kid and just couldn’t appreciate it like I do now. It is a travel log that Laura kept on her journey from De Smet to Mansfield. Most of the book is just a record of the Wilder family’s daily activities with little of the beautiful prose I’m so used to in Laur...
The Long Winter (2007)
Review #1 - The Little House series was so popular in my school in 1975 that after I’d finished Little House on the Prairie, the only book available in my school library was the sixth in the series, The Long Winter. At 400+ pages, it was the longest book I’d ever read, and it took me months. Kids...
Little House in the Big Woods (2007)
For a few years now, I've been interviewing my twins after they finish reading their books, posting those interviews on their own goodreads profile. My girl, Brontë, finished reading Little House in the Big Woods about a month ago, and I read it this week (I always read or reread the books they'v...

Farmer Boy (2007)
For my full review: http://girlwithherheadinabook.co.uk/2...From the opening pages, it feels as though we are on familiar territory – Wilder’s prose is so very distinctive in its apparent simplicity and clarity, vividly conjuring up this bygone era when America was a nation newly-forged. We watc...

The First Four Years (2007)
Be warned! This book is very, very different from all the other books in the Little House on the Prairie series. In fact, this book makes it easy to see how embellished the other books are and the positive spin that was put on them. Because it was published after the death of Laura and her daught...
Little House on the Prairie (2015)
I read this book when I was six years old, and then over and over again until I was about ten. I loved it. It inspired my imagination like nothing else until Harry Potter more than thirty years later. For years, I wanted to BE Laura Ingalls Wilder. I loved when the grass grew long and I could...
