Book Description

Publication Date: September 25, 2007 | Series: Little House

When Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote her first book, Little House in the Big Woods, she captured history in the eyes of a little girl who had boundless love for her family, her land, and all of her little houses. Pioneer life is sometimes hard for Laura and her family, but it is also exciting as they celebrate Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do the spring planting, bring in the harvest, and make their first trip into town. And every night they are safe and warm in their little house, with the happy sound of Pa's fiddle sending Laura and her sisters off to sleep.

For anyone who has ever read and loved Little House in the Big Woods, and for those many readers who have yet to discover Laura's world, this seventy-fifth anniversary edition, with heartwarming illustrations by Garth Williams, is a volume to cherish forever.

About the Author

Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867 in the log cabin described in Little House in the Big Woods. She and her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest. Later, Laura and her husband, Almanzo Wilder, made their own covered-wagon trip with their daughter, Rose, to Mansfield, Missouri. There, believing in the importance of knowing where you began in order to appreciate how far you've come, Laura wrote about her childhood growing up on the American frontier. For millions of readers, Laura lives on forever as the little pioneer girl in the beloved Little House books.

I'm very dissapointed! Not only have I had to leave this review multiple times because the system "was down", this book did not arrive in a new condition. I bought this book as a gift and am embarrassed to give it! Very disapointed in Amazon's version of "new".
