"So I'm looking at the library for Swiss Family Robinson (all checked out--thanks guys!) and it's (supposed to be) right next to Laura Ingalls Wilder's books. I read these maybe a million times when I was growing up. I wanted to BE Laura; her life seemed so cool. I thought it may be interesting to read my favorite of the series as an adult. You know, now that I know better how incredibly hard it was to live in those days. This book was still good. Simple, understated, yet still gives you a feel for what it was like to live each day. They knew their lives were physically hard, but it wasn't like the guy next door had a car, tv and cell phone. Everyone you knew was in the same boat. It was like a brief foray back to my childhood to read this book and a pleasant journey at that."
"In the "Little House the Prairie" Series, Laura Ingalls Wilder shares the story of her life, beginning in her early childhood and continuing through the early years of her married life. In "These Happy Golden Years" (No. 8), Laura finds herself teaching school and being courted by the man who is to be her future husband - Almanzo Wilder. She tells merry stories about her new experiences while teaching school as well as in her courtship with Almanzo. The book ends with the climax - the wedding!"
"A nice, solid ending (essentially...'The First Four Years' has a lot of mystery in its origins, and whether it's valid as a completion of the Little House series) to a lovely series. At this point, a lot of people's enthusiasm starts to wane as relentless westward migration gives way to sleigh rides in town and Literaries. It's a natural part of the story, but certainly not as exciting as amok cows or Indian war dances or amok horses. The Literaries, however, offer a lot of head-scratching moments, from town-wide spelling bees to school recitations to...gulp...minstrel shows.
And of course, Laura and Almanzo wed here. It's nice, quite emotional, and a kind, compassionate happy ending to eight books worth of hardship, hard winters, and hard candy for Christmas. Very glad I read these."
"Laura grows up, teaches school, and gets married. Unlike most of the little house books, these years of her life are mostly hardship free. Who can resist the courtship parts of this book? Charming. I fear more hard times are coming in The First Four Years. I'd like to hold on to these optimistic times in her life and finish the series there."
