Five stars seems an insult to this book. This is definitely getting added to my shelf of books to read once a year, every year. I can't recommend it enough.
Written in her simple, plain spoken way that fans of her other books will recognize, Laura shares her thoughts and wisdom with her readers,old and young alike. This book is a compilation of several of her newspaper columns.
This book is one filled with wisdom and advice that is timeless. It may have been written many years ago, but it seems to have been written for today. If you are a collector, you will enjoy this book. It would make a fine gift for anyone.
Excerpts from Laura’s writings to newspapers and such. They all discuss basic thoughts of morals, learning, being kinds, etc —good topics for “women” or any other person /age group. It’s nice to think even about 100 years ago when these were originally written, that most of our thoughts on these topics are the same. It was a quick read and a great reminded how to do better in your life with these simple things.
Laura’s writings are very insightful. The only issue I really had with this book was the editor misspelling part of her mother’s name (at least in the ebook). Instead of Quiner, he wrote Quinter, which I have never seen in any of Laura’s books or other historical works.
Overall, delightful writings from the beloved Little House author.
This was a great little collection of articles she wrote for magazines. Too bad we don't have her around for some good common sense today. Everything she wrote still applies today.
This book is so fresh and full of wisdom on every page. I loved how simple it was, while still being so true and important. I was inspired and challenged in equal measure.
