Bachelor Girl: Rose Wilder's Coming-of-Age Journey in the Final Little House Installment for Children (Ages 8-12) (Little House Sequel)

Book arrived on time in great condition

Good book in good condition. Fast shipping. Thank you.

I absolutely hated to see the end of these books. I was so wanting to keep following Roses life after Bachelor Girl! Update: to find out where Bachelor Girl leaves off and Rose and Gillette Lane continue you have to order ROSE WILDER LANE, HER STORY. Toward the end part of the book it tells about after their marriage.

I’ve purchased all the Rose books for my granddaughter and she loves them all.

My daughter and I started off reading the Little House books together. We enjoyed them so much that we started looking for other books similar to them. We didn't realize that there were stories about other women in that family. We are thoroughly enjoying reading about all 5 generations of the family. While the books about Rose, Caroline, Charlotte and Martha are not quite as enjoyable as the original series, they are still a must read for any Little House fans. I would recommend them all.

Extremely fast shipping. Item was exactly as described.

I read the Rose series out loud with my 9 year old and it was wonderful. Rose is a grown woman in this volume,and you really feel for her when she experiences hardships and heartbreaks. Knowing how she was a "founding mother" of the Libertarian party made this book all that more interesting because she was promoting socialist causes at this point in her life.

"Bachelor Girl" was a nice closing episode to the 'Rose' series of books. It was a well-chosen ending place to the story as Rose clearly is leaving the child world and entering that of the adult at the end. The 'Rose' series, overall, makes a nice compliment to the original 'Laura' series--not as good, mind you, but a decent sequel. The series starts off a bit slow and uneventfully, but picks up in the later books. I'd recommend them to young readers who've read the 'Laura' books and want more of the story. They don't have, and won't give, the same historical sense as the original series, however, as they lack that element of first-hand flavor Laura was able to give to an era she actually lived through. Now the nit-picking critique...I found myself questioning the portrayal of Rose's personality in this 8th book. In the previous books she'd been pridefully, almost arrogantly, confident in her intelligence and educational achievements. Though she hadn't socialized well with kids her age she had been bold and out-going in other ways (dating a college man, etc.). Now, grownup and on her own, Rose is suddenly shy and uncertain, letting herself be trod upon and looked down upon. And tell me, would a girl who had managed to learn fluent Latin in less than a year have to look up the definition of "inhibitions"? Laura, even when she was being a proper young lady, always held onto her inner rebelliousness--Rose's seems to have been nearly snuffed out in most of this book. I also wondered about her sudden interest in being a housewife. Flirting with the idea of playing house with Paul could have worked better if it had been clearly battling inside her with her desire for independence. The entire Paul relationship was not quite as deftly worked as it could have been. Its resolution was foreshadowed in a clunky, predictable way. It was interesting to meet Rose's future husband (and future ex-husband), Gillette Lane. He was not fully fleshed out as a character, but one could see how he would both fascinate her with his flash and style and, regrettably, the traits that could make the relationship fall apart later. Oddly, San Francisco didn't come to life in the story. A curious omission was the cable cars. I never quite felt I could place her within the City even though several specific places were mentioned (including places where the, mentioned, street cars would have been cable cars). The atmosphere was missing. Something I would have liked to have seen hints of was Rose's future career as a journalist. Though she wrote many letters (were these historically authentic? ), the inclination to a writing career didn't come through. Though these books were written as children's or young adult's stories--fiction based on fact-- I would dearly have loved to have seen an "historical notes" section at the end.

I can't believe the books end here! After following the Little House books all the way through from The Little House in the Big Woods I am completely bereft! I want to know what happens to Rose now!

Really good. The book came in very good condition and I really like it.

シリーズ主人公ローラの物語全９巻 その母キャロラインの物語全７巻 そしてローラの娘ローズの物語全８巻 のうち、邦訳されていない２冊のうちのひとつ ローズの物語の最終巻８巻の原作。 邦訳既刊の６巻も既に絶版のため、ストーリーを 完結させるためには、この原書しかありません！ キャロラインの物語の最終巻は福音館より ２０１０年６月に刊行予定らしいです。
