I came from people just like the Ingalls, farmers all the way back on both sides, and I loved imagining myself as part of that vanished pioneer world as I read this book, and all the books in the Little House series.
The time of my childhood. Excellent. I loved it.
Beautiful story. When you read a book, you feel like packing up and going to the prairie...
I recommend it to children, teenagers and adults.
I adored this story. It was so cosy and cute. As well as a way for us to see the historical events from back in the day through the eyes of a little girl.
Perfection, obviously. Granted it is weird to read (well, listen to) this as an adult and realize how racially problematic these books are. Also problematic is my desire to give her a complete pass for being an old lady who grew up on the prairie. Whatever don't think about that!! Just think about how sweet and honest these books are. And Cherry Jones was a bomb narrator. And it was a genius touch to get a fiddle player. A+++
