"When my daughter was a child, we read the entire Little House series together. This book tells the rest of the story. The biographical material about Laura Ingalls Wilder, Almanzo, and their daughter Rose, is expertly interwoven with excellent writings by both Laura and Rose, who became a nationally recognized writer. After reading "Object, Matrimony", Rose's short story included in this book, I can't wait to get my hands on "Free Land", Rose's 1938 best seller. I would also love to visit her museum in DeSmet, South Dakota and her Rocky Ridge farm in the Ozarks of Missouri."
"This was really fun and interesting. My favorite parts were the bits that augment what we learned in the books - chapters and stories she didn't tell because they weren't as kid friendly, for example, or the picture of a twist of hay from The Long Winter. I also loved Rose's recollections of their time in DeSmet, since she spent her days with Ma and the girls while Laura worked. So interesting, especially learning that Ma and Pa had the most ambitions for Mary of all their children, and were never the same after those hopes were dashed with her blindness. Also loved her interview with Almanzo that she used for writing Young Pioneers - he had amazing memory of prices and slang and life before he and Laura married, even in the 1930s. (Saddest bit was when Rose asked about the most satisfying moments, and he recalled their first crop but finished by saying that his life had mostly been disappointments. Ouch.) I wish more had been about Laura and her family and less Rose; I just don't like her as much."
"Got this to show E photos of the real people and places and then read the articles and stories by Laura and her daughter Rose. I'm becoming an expert on the real Laura."
"I'm always open to Little House related reading. I came away with the knowledge that her life wasn't all that long ago and things haven't changed all that much. People are people. It's just that now more of us have running water."
