Readers need to keep in mind that what this book is is Laura's first time writing down the events as they happened through her adult perspective. This is the process she started with for all the Little House books. She wrote down what happened, and then she, with her daughter, Rose, turned what she wrote into a story, and then edited it to be appropriate to children. Yes, this book has a lot of tragedy in it. But so do the earlier books. Her mother lost a baby, a son named after his father. TheLaura's second baby was born and died within a page and when I finished the book, I had to go back and reread to make sure I had indeed read he'd died. I know this is a fragment of a book and without any editing or depth to it, but again, we got a whole damn book about a single winter and the death of a child got...a page. Anyway, good to know the men were all kind of dumb and hopeless. I thought Almanzo (surprisingly only referred to as Manly in this book and literally never called that
The Little House books were the first thing I ever bought when I found out I was having a baby. I first read them to my daughter when she was far too young to understand the words I was speaking. When she was old enough to read them for herself, I held this one back. I have heard rumors that it was unfinished or written by someone else. All I know is that it doesn't fit with the rest of the series. It's as if the main characters I loved so much suddenly lost their pioneering spirit. They stop
I hope that more recently-published editions have fixed the error on page 70 of my Harper & Row copy: Laura powers through labor by remembering one of the hymns Pa used to sing, but it's "Angel Band", NOT "Angel Bank"! Thank you, The Monkees' version of "Angel Bank" at YouTube, with Michael Nesmith on lead! The book itself feels slightly different from the other books (although it recaps the very last part of THESE HAPPY GOLDEN YEARS, as Laura marries Almanzo Wilder and they move into their
Bit of a lackluster end to one of my fave seriesThis is an unfinished manuscript. Laura Ingalls Wilder intended to write a full novel on her early years married to Almanzo Wilder but she passed prior to finishing the book. Roger Lea MacBride ("adopted" grandson of Rose, Laura's daughter) found this manuscript after posthumously rummaging through Rose's things and decided to publish this anyway. I don't wish it would've gone unpublished but at the same time, it's just not as good as the previous
I read this book when I was a child and was shocked and disappointed by it. The tone is very flat and Laura and Almanzo seem like different people. It seems more of an outline than a full-fledged Little House book. I almost didn't re-read it this time to finish out my re-reading of the entire series, but I decided to steel myself to the task, and I'm actually glad I did. I knew what I was getting into, so it wasn't so shocking and disappointing this time around.This book begins by re-telling the
I Loved reading this series!
