I have to admit that Laura of Little House on the Prairie is for me the girl I came to know in the long-running TV series from 1974 to 1983 but eventually I read Little House in the Big Woods, the first of the partly fictional autobiographies of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
In the Big Woods, Ma and Pa Ingalls lived with Laura, Mary and baby Carrie, surrounded by many wild animals, most of which, Pa hunted for food. Their story of life in the 1870s and 80s is told simply in child-friendly language. Later they board a covered wagon and travel west across America as pioneers to live in the warm prairie. Here they must battle for land and to survive, working hard and sticking together through joys, hardships and sorrow. It is a life experience quite outside any we can know today which Laura tells with childlike candour.

I remember reading those as a kid! I wanted to live in a log cabin with my family – now I’m glad we didn’t!

❤ 🙂 I have the whole boxed set. Still. And I read them too, ha ha. I live in the Prairies and I swear those books helped me find the beauty here after moving from the Coast. I feel like I'm living like Laura.

I used to have the entire set of those books, and now I’m starting to give them to my daughter. Laura’s adventures were so brilliantly told.

I love these books! I was able to visit a maple sugar place a few years ago, and I was so excited because it reminded me of Little House in the Big Woods!
