Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

The set includes: Little House in the Big Woods, Little House on the Prairie, On the Banks of Plum Creek, By the Shores of Silver Lake, and The Long Winter.

Little House in the Big Woods

Wolves and panthers and bears roam the deep Wisconsin woods in the late 1870's. In those same woods, Laura lives with Pa and Ma, and her sisters, Mary and Baby Carrie, in a snug little house built of logs. Pa hunts and traps. Ma makes her own cheese and butter. All night long, the wind howls lonesomely, but Pa plays the fiddle and sings, keeping the family safe and cozy.

Little House on the Prairie

Pa Ingalls decides to sell the little log house, and the family sets out for Indian country! They travel from Wisconsin to Kansas, and there, finally, Pa builds their little house on the prairie. Sometimes farm life is difficult, even dangerous, but Laura and her family are kept busy and are happy with the promise of their new life on the prairie.

On the Banks of Plum Creek

Laura's family's first home in Minnesota is made of sod, but Pa builds a clean new house made of sawed lumber beside Plum Creek. The money for materials will come from their first wheat crop. Then, just before the wheat is ready to harvest, a strange glittering cloud fills the sky, blocking out the sun. Soon millions of grasshoppers cover the field and everything on the farm. In a week's time, there is no wheat crop left at all.

By the Shores of Silver Lake

Pa Ingalls heads west to the unsettled wilderness of the Dakota Territory. When Ma, Mary, Laura, Carrie, and baby Grace join him, they become the first settlers in the town of De Smet. And Pa begins work on the first building in what will soon be a brand-new town on the shores of Silver Lake.

The Long Winter

The first terrible storm comes to the barren prairie in October. Then it snows almost without stopping until April. Snow has reached the rooftops, and no trains can get through with food or coal. The people of De Smet are starving, including Laura's family, who wonder how they're going to make it through this terrible winter. It is young Almanzo Wilder who finally understands what needs to be done. He must save the town, even if it means risking his own life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless and Beloved, Aug 27 1997
By A Customer
Fifty years ago I first started reading the "Little House" books as a second grader. Twenty five years ago my daughter loved them just as much and now my son's daughter loves them, too. The Ingalls family's humor, resourcefulness and integrity are still examples of what is best in the American character. Through Mrs. Wilder's extraordinary gifts of strong simple language, I remember many happy hours "seeing" the land and "knowing" the characters. Truly, the entire series is timeless and beloved

4.0 out of 5 stars Never to late to enjoy these great books., Jul 4 2002
By Margaret Bauer "hoodsportjo" (Hoodsport, Washington United States) - See all my reviews
This one will be short and sweet. I just completed reading all five of the boxed set. I feel I knew the Ingalls family as I shared their lives, dangers, joys, and challenges. But, why, oh why, did I wait over fifty years to discover these wonderful stories. Laura waited until she was 65 years old to start writing them, so I think it safe to say that 65(my age) is not too late for me to read them.

To say this is about a pioneer family moving west, or about a little girl who lived in the big woods, on the prairie, near a creek, on the shores of a lake, and in various structures including a sod house dug into the side of a hill - misses the point. These stories are about adventures and goodness and have successfully warmth the hearts of generations of all ages since they were written.

I recommend anyone of any age read Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House Series. The best part of all is that the stories are based on her family and her life and capture the time and a spirit of those strong and determined folks who moved west in the 19th Century.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Long Winter, Jan 5 2001
By Sandy Keppel (Akron,New York,USA) - See all my reviews
Have you ever been trapped in your home the whole winter and only getting out between blizzards? The author Laura Ingalls Wilder has in the book The Long Winter. Laura's family had to move off of the lonesome praire into pa's builing in town for the long winter. Ma told Laura and Carrie that they would have to go to school while they were living in town. After a while they loved school. They didn't go to school for long because blizzards hit and it was only clear for one day or less between blizzards. There was also no coal in town. One night it snowed so bad that there was snow all the way up to the second floor window. Laura saw the wild hores's hooves pass the window. With all the blizzards the train was stopped till the Spring. There was hardly any food left in town. There was no meat, crackers, wheat, flour and nothing left in the shops. The townspeople thought Spring would be in March but it didn't come till April. Laura's family and the Boasts had Christmas dinner in May. They got a barrel from the church in the big woods. How long could you be trapped indoors with only bread and potatoes for every meal?
