I‘m nearing the end of my reread of the Little House series.
Much of my enjoyment has been discovering that I somehow seem to empathize with the adults now (and that I can‘t stop questioning the lifestyle choices they were happy to live with). 😆

I‘m nearing the end of my reread of the Little House series.
Much of my enjoyment has been discovering that I somehow seem to empathize with the adults now (and that I can‘t stop questioning the lifestyle choices they were happy to live with). 😆
I‘ve been shamefully avoiding all book club reads since I got back from my summer travels and reading all the little books I picked up in various Laura Ingalls Wilder museums instead.
This has now lead me to rereading the entire series in order, which I don‘t think I‘ve done since my tween years. 😆😆
On its own, LIW‘s memoir would be fine and an interesting side note to her fiction books. But this annotated volume knocks it out of the park, adding a richness and depth to her manuscript it would otherwise lack. The amount of work that went into this was enormous and it shows. I loved reading this.
💛 I live in a suburb where some farms still exist. To get away from the city, I visit my eldest daughter‘s ranch outside a small town in south Texas, with cows, horses, dogs and some years sheep.
💛 Tagged book is part of a series of Laura and Almonzo Wilder‘s life in the Ozarks; they built a home and had apple orchards. Their daughter Rose entrusted author MacBride to write a new series about those years.

This book was an unfinished manuscript. I still really enjoyed it even if it wasn‘t as Laura would have published it. There were plenty of brilliant descriptions of things. During the four years the crops never did flourish, though they did well with their animals. The weather was the culprit – hail, a tornado, drought, fire. Also blizzards in winter factored into their lives. Cont in comments...
