About the Author
Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in the Wisconsin woods in 1867. She wrote the Little House books based on her own experiences growing up on the Western frontier. Just like the characters in her stories, Laura and her family traveled by covered wagon across the midwest and experienced many of the same adventures. She finally settled down in Mansfield, Missouri with her husband, Almanzo, where she lived until she was ninety years old.

This review is from: Little House 9 Book Box Set (Paperback)
I got these books for my daughter and have been reading them to her before bed. I am disappointed that they do not have the illustrations I remember from the editions I read as a girl. The pictures really helped explain some of the unfamiliar objects from pioneer days. I was also surprised that the chapters are not numbered, but that's not really a big deal. The stories are as wonderful as I remember, I just wish they had included the illustrations from past editions.

This review is from: Little House 9 Book Box Set (Paperback)
I had this set when I was a little girl. My 6 year old asked Santa for chapter books, and I thought this would be perfect! We're only on the first book, and so far, I haven't seen any of the Garth Williams illustrations I loved so much. I'm a little sad they're not in this set.

buyer beware--no Garth Williams illustrations,

This review is from: Little House 9 Book Box Set (Paperback)
A classic series as many know but the decision to ditch Williams' illustrations is baffling. Harper Collins has been using them from the beginning edition and no doubt still has the rights. Then again, this is the same publisher that chronologically reshuffled the Narnia series despite the fact that the author himself was against it when he was alive.
Amazon: post a note upfront that these books are not illustrated, if you want to avoid upset customers. My 7yr old received a set for xmas and noticed it right away. I'll be looking for an illustrated set next.
