Little House in the Big Woods by Wilder, Laura Ingalls Published by HarperCollins Revised edition (1953) Hardcover

Easy, relaxing read that brings you back in time with descriptions so vivid, you feel you are there. Fun read for adults as well as kids.

This is the story of Laura Ingalls Wilder as a little girl in what was the big woods of Wisconsin near lake Pepin, a wide spot in the Mississippi River. It is an excellent view into what America was like for some in the 1800's. It is an excellent and educational book for young children as well as adults.

The Little House series was my favorite books when I was younger. I was reading a biography about Laura Ingalls Wilder and decided to read the books again. They did not disappoint. The imagery created makes you feel you are there with Pa, Ma, Laura, Mary and Carrie.

I bought this as the beginning of a hardback collection for my granddaughter. This classic series is both entertaining and educational. I began reading these to my children (boys!) at naptime when they were just toddlers. They loved to close their eyes and "see" the pictures.

This brings back child good memories. You are never too old to read Laura's books! Saving up to buy a set!

Delightfully and simply told, these novels are a favorite of many generations and are a product of the time they were written so not entirely PC. Well worth it anyway.

I recently bought the kindle set of the five classic novels by Laura Ingalls Wilder and started reading with this one which is chronologically the first. I have faint memories of a teacher reading our class three books while in elementary school, this one followed by Little house On The Prairie and for something completely different we were also read The Hobbit. In this first volume we meet the core of familiar characters along with the extended Ingalls family who were pioneers in Wisconsin when European settlers first arrived in large numbers in the first half of the 19th century. As this novel concludes 'Pa' becomes restless as Wisconsin is becoming well settled and he prefers to be in a wilder setting, which will lead us directly into Little House on the Prairie next.

My grandson loved learning about how people USED to live without all the “luxuries” we have today—

Was a bit worn..but good to have with my collection of Little House books.

What can you say about this book, if you have read any of the others in the series then this is a must.

This is a whole series of lovely books. If you saw the TV series you will put faces to the characters. I bought this as it was the only one I had missing from the whole series and to compliment Laura Ingalls wilder's autobiography Pioneer Girl which my son bought me for Christmas. Don't expect deep plots just easy reading from an age long lost.

It was great to realise there were so many books in the Little House series and I loved them!

Lovely book, remembered from childhood fondly, now reading to my children
