In Writings to Young Women on Laura Ingalls As Told by Her Family, Friends, and Neighbors , we see Laura through the eyes of those who knew her best. They tell of her insatiable love for reading and learning new things, her reactions to the fame from her best-selling children's series, and even which book she considered her favorite.
I read all the Little House books as a child, and I have read them over many times as an adult. This Volume 3 book gives new insights about Laura Ingalls Wilder from her friends and neighbors that every reader of the Little House books will want to read.
Growing up in the 70’s, I LOVED Little House on the Prairie on tv. One Christmas, when I was about 8 or 9, my dad bought me the complete boxed set of the books which I still have today. This third book from Editor Stephen Hines only gives more insight and information into the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder who inspired, “A good friend to books is a good friend to have.” Laura grew up when hard work was necessary to survival and stated, “We worked hard, but it was interesting and didn’t hurt us any.” This third book gives a really good picture of Laura’s only daughter, Jane who spoke 6 languages!
