John Scalzi: 'Head On' (0 comment)
So, as a writer, I write a lot of sequels. And because I write a lot of sequels, I sometimes worry that I'm going to write a book that someone who is new to me is not going to want to read...

About the Author

Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867 in the log cabin described in Little House in the Big Woods. She and her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest. Later, Laura and her husband, Almanzo Wilder, made their own covered-wagon trip with their daughter, Rose, to Mansfield, Missouri. There, believing in the importance of knowing where you began in order to appreciate how far you've come, Laura wrote about her childhood growing up on the American frontier. For millions of readers Laura lives on forever as the little pioneer girl in the beloved Little House books.

Garth Williams's classic illustrations for the Little House books caused Laura to remark that she "and her folks live again in these pictures." Garth Williams also illustrated Charlotte's Web, Stuart Little, and almost one hundred other books.

Sara Jean , September 04, 2011
I am writing this review not just to remind you but to remind myself of what we were all once long ago. Before unemployment, wars, and the insanity of our government, America was a little house on the prairie. A promise of free land drove the Ingalls family to leave everything they had in Wisconsin for a fresh start on the wide open prairie lands. Their journey was told through the eyes of little Laura Ingalls. From the woods of Wisconsin the family traveled west to where Indians lived and wild things still run free. Ma was afraid of what awaited them in the new country, but Laura wasn't for Pa had promised Laura that maybe she would get to see a papoose. I first discovered the Little House series when I was very young, and I still peruse through them even now when I am well past the age of innocence, yet still in love with that simplicity of life. Laura's family faced sickness, blizzards, and life's daily hard labors, but she always had her family and the hope of a better tomorrow. All children should be required to read this set of books.

This is a classic, I loved it the first time I read it when I was younger and I just read it again. The rest of the series is just as good!
