The First Four Years, though, is a bit of an oddity. Alternatively, I could make hats from loose straw, or cure venison, or sew a rag rug (that last one is actually on my list of projects this winter). If I could handle an axe, I could quite happily build my own log cabin based purely on the description of Pa building one. What I love about these books is the delicious level of detail. Not only does her perspective change, but the language becomes more complex, the number of pictures gradually reduces, and even the font gets smaller from one book to the next. They’re told through the eyes of little Laura, for the most part based on the author’s life, and the books grow with her. The Little House books take the reader on a journey through the challenges of a little pioneering family venturing into the uncharted American West in the late 1800s. In my family we take actual Scripture very seriously indeed, and it most definitely does not get confused with other stuff.) From the time I could first read to when I left home, I must have read the entire series every couple of years at least, which adds up to an impressive number of times. In my family home, the Little House on the Prairie books are a massive deal.
As always, do make her welcome! Over to you, Melissa… My RSI has come back so my one-handed typing is being restricted as much as possible – perfect timing for my housemate Melissa to write a review I can use over here – this time of a much-loved classic.
