Any time I see any Laura Ingalls Wilder book it makes me smile. I grew up reading her book and totally loved them. :D
ReplyDeleteI don't even know when I heard about the books the first time, Lark. Maybe they weren't even translated. I remember watching the TV series when they came out in Germany. And when I moved to England, her books were among the first English ones I read.
DeleteI loved the Little House books but you haven't yet reached my favorites, The Long Winter, Little Town on the Prairie, and These Happy Golden Years! Keep going!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I have, Constance. They are all mentioned in my link. The Long Winter is also my absolute favourite, follwed by Farmer Boy.
DeleteHave a nice week.
