This five-book paperback box set of the classic series features Garth Williams' illustrations in gorgeous full color.

The five books in the timeless Little House series tell the story of Laura’s real childhood as an American pioneer, and are cherished by readers of all generations. They offer a unique glimpse into life on the American frontier, and tell the heartwarming, unforgettable story of a loving family.

Little House in the Big Woods

Meet the Ingalls family—Laura, Ma, Pa, Mary, and baby Carrie, who all live in a cozy log cabin in the big woods of Wisconsin in the 1870s. Though many of their neighbors are wolves and panthers and bears, the woods feel like home, thanks to Ma’s homemade cheese and butter and the joyful sounds of Pa’s fiddle.

Farmer Boy

As Laura Ingalls is growing up in a little house in Kansas, Almanzo Wilder lives on a big farm in New York. He and his brothers and sisters work hard from dawn to supper to help keep their family farm running. Almanzo wishes for just one thing—his very own horse—but he must prove that he is ready for such a big responsibility.

Little House on the Prairie

When Pa decides to sell the log house in the woods, the family packs up and moves from Wisconsin to Kansas, where Pa builds them their little house on the prairie! Living on the farm is different from living in the woods, but Laura and her family are kept busy and are happy with the promise of their new life on the prairie.

On the Banks of Plum Creek

The Ingalls family lives in a sod house beside Plum Creek in Minnesota until Pa builds them a new house made of sawed lumber. The money for the lumber will come from their first wheat crop. But then, just before the wheat is ready to harvest, a strange glittering cloud fills the sky, blocking out the sun. Millions of grasshoppers cover the field and everything on the farm, and by the end of a week, there is no wheat crop left.

By the Shores of Silver Lake

Pa Ingalls heads west to the unsettled wilderness of the Dakota Territory. When Ma, Mary, Laura, Carrie, and baby Grace join him, they become the first settlers in the town of De Smet. Pa starts work on the first building of the brand new town, located on the shores of Silver Lake.

The Long Winter

The first terrible storm comes to the barren prairie in October. Then it snows almost without stopping until April. With snow piled as high as the rooftops, it’s impossible for trains to deliver supplies, and the townspeople, including Laura and her family, are starving. Young Almanzo Wilder, who has settled in the town, risks his life to save the town.

Little Town on the Prairie

De Smet is rejuvenated with the beginning of spring. But in addition to the parties, socials, and “literaries,” work must continue. Laura spends many hours sewing shirts to help Ma and Pa get enough money to send Mary to a college for the blind. But in the evenings, Laura makes time for a new caller, Almanzo Wilder.

These Happy Golden Years

Laura must continue to earn money to keep Mary in her college for the blind, so she gets a job as a teacher. It’s not easy, and for the first time she’s living away from home. But it gets a little better every Friday, when Almanzo picks Laura up to take her back home for the weekend. Though Laura is still young, she and Almanzo are officially courting, and she knows that this is a time for new beginnings.

The First Four Years

Laura Ingalls and Almanzo Wilder have just been married! They move to a small prairie homestead to start their lives together. But each year brings new challenges—storms, sickness, fire, and unpaid debts. These first four years call for courage, strength, and a great deal of determination. And through it all, Laura and Almanzo still have their love, which only grows when baby Rose arrives.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Set during the pioneer days of the late 1800s and early 1900s, Laura Ingalls Wilder's books chronicle her life growing up on the Western frontier. For the first time in the history of the Little House books, these new editions feature Garth Williams' interior art in vibrant, full color. Come along for the adventure with this collector's set of the first five Little House books.

About the Author

Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867–1957) was born in a log cabin in the Wisconsin woods. With her family, she pioneered throughout America’s heartland during the 1870s and 1880s, finally settling in Dakota Territory. She married Almanzo Wilder in 1885; their only daughter, Rose, was born the following year. The Wilders moved to Rocky Ridge Farm at Mansfield, Missouri, in 1894, where they established a permanent home. After years of farming, Laura wrote the first of her beloved Little House books in 1932. The nine Little House books are international classics. Her writings live on into the twenty-first century as America’s quintessential pioneer story.

Garth Williams is the renowned illustrator of almost one hundred books for children, including the beloved Stuart Little by E. B. White, Bedtime for Frances by Russell Hoban, and the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

He was born in 1912 in New York City but raised in England. He founded an art school near London and served with the British Red Cross Civilian Defense during World War II. Williams worked as a portrait sculptor, art director, and magazine artist before doing his first book Stuart Little, thus beginning a long and lustrous career illustrating some of the best known children's books.

In addition to illustrating works by White and Wilder, he also illustrated George Selden’s The Cricket in Times Square and its sequels (Farrar Straus Giroux). He created the character and pictures for the first book in the Frances series by Russell Hoban (HarperCollins) and the first books in the Miss Bianca series by Margery Sharp (Little, Brown). He collaborated with Margaret Wise Brown on her Little Golden Books titles Home for a Bunny and Little Fur Family, among others, and with Jack Prelutsky on two poetry collections published by Greenwillow: Ride a Purple Pelican and Beneath a Blue Umbrella. He also wrote and illustrated seven books on his own, including Baby Farm Animals (Little Golden Books) and The Rabbits’ Wedding (HarperCollins).

Lovely classics on excellent, high-gloss, sturdy, durable paper

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

These are the childhood classics, on super high quality sturdy paper (the kind classy textbooks use), they are durable and glossy. Also, the garth williams illustrations have been gently colored in, and are still lovely. This is an absolute keeper. And the durable paper quality makes this worth stocking up on -- it should last for at least a generation or two.

Excellent early reader series for kids just getting acquainted with chapter books. Genuine American history from a child's viewpoint. These are classics. Sturdy with colorful pictures and large font. My daughter already read them twice and asked for the next four in the series. Great coming of age stories about having good character and working hard to overcome difficulty. Builds the value of education into a child. Why can't modern children's authors write with this level of quality and character? You won't be disappointed.

A must read for every little girl

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

Laura Ingalls was my childhood hero. Every little girl should read this series. Laura and her family were strong and independent in a changing time. I am now 28 and I thought I would reread her series and I am glad I am. The dynamics feel different the story is much deeper than I had originally seen as a young girl. Ma and Pa’s strength shines so well through these books it feel like a whole new story. But these for your daughters. I read the first one when I was 7. They are wonderful in every way! I am moving on to her later books now and am excited to read her teen years and marriage.

I loved these stories when I was growing up. I thought my grand daughter would enjoy them also - so I bought this set for her. But when it arrived, I just had to peek through and found myself reading these stories again. I enjoyed each one. Don't laugh, but I ended up keeping the collection for myself. My grand daughter can now borrow it from me - but this collection is mine.

Kindle edition review

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

This review is for the kindle edition set of the first five books in the series. These books are a great read, we already know that. I want to talk about the kindle experience of these books.
I've been waiting for these to come out on kindle for awhile. The books separately are 8.99 as of now, and it's a little cheaper to buy this package of 5 books instead of doing it individually.
My biggest complaint about this set is the navigation. I can easily choose which book to read from the "go to" kindle menu. But, after choosing the book you want to read, you cannot further navigate into the book by the table of contents. I also bought one of the little house books not included in this set, and this problem does not occur, I'm able to navigate to different chapters if I choose. I wish I had bought these books individually to avoid this annoyance, even if it would've been a little more expensive. If you don't care about this issue I would purchase this as I have found no issues with the content.
The illustrations are all there as they are in the books, even the smaller illustrations at the beginning of each chapter.

My 7 year old granddaughter loves this series, and I am so glad that I purchased the version with the color illustrations. As a friend of mine says, Wilder's narrative "reads like butter." So much children's literature is poorly written; thank goodness we still have these classics to share.

...of the best bedtime stories in the world. Long before we moved to Minnesota, my husband and I fought over who got to read the Little House story or chapter to our daughter that night. My daughter started to beg for them late in her third year and continued for at least the next 5 years, interspersed with other books.
Ms. Wilder’s books are sweet, natural, educational and exciting. They are about community, family, love, nature and hard work. You will love them all.

Highly recommended for young readers.

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2016

These books were perfect for my second grader to read. These books are readable at his age yet still challenging enough exposing him to broader vocabulary words. I never read this books as a child, so it is my first time as well. Farmer Boy is better directed to a boy, but we've enjoyed the first two books.

My grandparents owned farms and I recall many of the things described in these books. Though my children do not have these experiences, These books gives them some exposure to what life is like growing on a farm. Though a bit more romanticized than I remember...

Love the books, not a fan of this format.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 15, 2018

Verified Purchase

For the books themselves 5/5. This series is one I've loved since I was a very little girl, and now I'm older I'm seeing facets I never noticed before. If you're looking at this for yourself or a young person, I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed, they're beautiful.

However. -1 star for the fact it's very hard to navigate. Rather than split it into five books, you're given one massive book so there's no way to tell how far through one book you are, or a way to easily navigate.

Also, -1 star for the fact this is a set of five books, when there's 9 in the series, and to purchase the remaining 4, it's roughly double the price this set.

I love these books, but would have bought the full set separately and not in this set

Every little girl needs these, and grandmothers need no excuse to re-read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

This series is based on real life experiences of a family trying to find a place to settle "Out West". Her culture dictates her viewpoint, but as a way to understand the pioneering settlers in America in the 1800's, this is brilliant. Written from (at first) a little girl's standpoint, the series takes us up to her own marriage and children, and finally is completed by her daughter, in the last of the series (but not in this collection). This collection takes us up to when the family settles for a few years, and Laura is a young teenager and first meets the boy she will later marry. Fascinating history, and thoroughly enjoyable stories

Received this set as books 50 years ago and they have fallen apart through continuous reading. Fantastic social history of the early American pioneers. Unfortunately it made me extremely angry at the treatment of the Native Americans. Thrilled that they are finally available on Kindle.

As a young girl I grew up watching Little house, but never got around to buying the books. Now much older I found I have time to catch up on all the things I missed when growing up. This set of books are a wonderful collection. They are beautifully written and illustrated. Any one young or old will enjoy them time and time again.
