by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Cherry Jones
It's a little jarring to go from one style for eight books to this one, which is a much more rambling diary-esque format. Also, Almanzo becomes "Manly", which is just a hilarious nickname.
A 2.5 star review.By far the weakest of all Laura books, and a book that leads credence to the theory that Rose Wilder edited all of Laura's other books, because the writing style is so vastly different from the rest of the series.I enjoyed learning what happened after Laura and Almanzo got married,...
Unrelievedly depressing and told at some distance further than arm's length. Interesting period detail, but so many sad things happen I can understand why Wilder didn't publish this with the rest of the series.

A lovely warm fuzzy end to the series. (Yeah, I know there are more now, but this feels like the ride-off-into-the-sunset book- The First Four Years (Little House, #9) has always struck me as coda.)Deliciously scary buggy rides. Buttoned-up romance. The huge cultural divide from them to me is easier...
One of the few books I read in elementary school. I still remember bits and pieces of it. I loved this series.
Second Grade, my friend and I sat by the brick wall and read every little house on the prairie book together during every recess. We just found each other again via Facebook. She remembers those times.
