I grew up loving these books
My all time favorite author. I grew up loving these books. I worked odd jobs as a child to save enough money to buy the entire hard cover set which I still cherish to this day. My dad even took me to the museum in Missouri. I hope to visit the museum also in Plum Creek. I now have a daughter to share these wonderful books with!!! I even wrote the NBC network about doing a T.V. show about this series and guess what?? Several years later I was pleased to see it every week.

Enrich my life every day
Laura Ingalls Wilder provided the world with the (slightly fictionalized) story of her young life in the Little House Series. The "Little House" books enrich my life every day. From them, I have gained knowledge of how to make everything from soap to button lamps. I have a sharp idea in my head of how I would like my future family to care for each other. I have an idea of what my spiritual ancestors--American pioneers--had to face, and face down. The Laura of these books is not precisely the real one, but she is a real girl, and her stories are truth. Everyone who ever reads this series will come away the better for it.
