I can't tell you how many times I read these books as a kid!

Laura Ingalls Wilder's estate sued the author for unauthorized use of her works and person.

" Bill Anderson, a board member of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home Association, which last year hosted 40,000 visitors to its museum at the Wilder home in Mansfield, Mo. ”I hope educators and librarians look carefully before they put the Tedrow books in the hands of children,” says Anderson, who also has a Wilder book out — Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Biography, published by HarperCollins. ”We have always been very careful with these true stories. This Tedrow series is a great distortion of the truth. Thomas Nelson is supposedly a religious publisher, but they’ve forgotten the Seventh Commandment: Thou shalt not steal.” http://ew.com/article/1992/09/18/laur...

I'm pretty sure that I have read the entire series....at least once! Continues the story of Laura Ingalls Wilder into her adult years....

I read these books with my mother when I was a child, and I know that we did adore them. The fact that Laura Ingalls had grown up and was now the matron of her own book series was fascinating to me at the time. Indeed, when I have a daughter, she and I will be working our way through this excellent series.

I read this series because it belonged to my grandma and I feel close to her when reading her books, but the writing wasn’t very good.

I love these. They're not especially well-written, nor are they especially historically accurate. And yet, there is a flavor to this series that made my nine-year-old self read the heck out of it (at least four times a book, no joke), and will forever make me grin at the memory of it. Maybe there were typos every other page, maybe there was an excessive use of exclamation points, and maybe Tedrow reshaped the Wilders into his own unique characters, but there is a charm and, yes, a beauty that transcended the pages of these books and made its way into the fabric of my childhood. And though I have read these so many times, I still own every last one, and they're waiting on my bookshelf for the not-so-long-in-coming day when I once again get "Tedrow fever" and devour the Days of Laura Ingalls Wilder series for what will not be the first time nor the last.
