These are wonderful, magical stories that start with the author, Laura Ingalls Wilder, when she was about four years old. The story of Laura and her life growing up in the Big Woods in Wisconsin, her love and marriage to Almanzo and on to the birth of her own daughter, Rose who later in life collaborated with her mother in her writings.

Books with this quality of descriptive writing don’t come along every day. They have certainly been around for a long time, and are loved by everyone who not only reads them, they become involved with the story and want to continue reading them. These are terrific stories which can be read aloud to a child; however my eight year old daughter and I took it in turns, each of us reading a page.
We became emotionally involved with the characters, which surely proved that the author was doing her job impeccably. If the writer can empathise with her readers in a way that they always want more, there will always be an audience waiting for her next books to be published.
Being able to buy the nine books together, and at such a reasonable price, enables the reader to follow the story through to completion. They should be essential reading for everyone.
