About the Author
Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in the Wisconsin woods in 1867. She wrote the Little House books based on her own experiences growing up on the Western frontier. Just like the characters in her stories, Laura and her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest as they moved from place to place. She and her husband, Almanzo, finally settled down in Mansfield, Missouri, where she lived until she was ninety years old.
The mowing machine's whirring sounded cheerfully from the old buffalo wallow south of the claim shanty, where bluestem grass stood thick and tall and Pa was cutting it for hay. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars
great read...although not for blue monday!,
By
This review is from: Long Winter (Paperback)
This is a great book to read. I read it with my 5 and 7 year old daughters, and think they got a sense of how hard life can be! What was depressing though, is as we were reading on Blue Monday (first monday in February) we were reading about how they were running out of things, they were getting lethargic and tired of going from one blizard to the next. it was depressing! Although, keep the faith, things get better! So if there is anything depressing going on in life, leave this book until things are looking better and you have a positive outlook to get to the end. Then count your blessings that your life is not like that.Well worth the purchase, as are all of this series.

You'll get cold just reading it.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Long Winter (Paperback)
The cover on this book is very misleading, showing children happily playing in the snow. In fact, the book is a description of an unbelievably long, devastatingly cold South Dakota winter in which the Ingalls family struggled for survival. This is a good book for a hot summer day -- just reading it will chill you down.My question is this: After the long winter finally ended, why didn't Pa Ingalls immediately load the family into a wagon and head for south Texas to grow grapefruit? Just kidding, of course, but as a life-long Texan I have a hard time understanding people who live in South Dakota today, with heated houses and cars. It boggles the mind that people lived there in Laura Ingalls' day, when they had to tie up bundles of straw to put in the stove and generate a paltry amount of heat to keep from freezing to death.
