This is a small review about one of my
favorite book series that I ever like to read again and again. My mom is a
great story-teller. I love to hear my mom talk about her parents, her grand
parents and her siblings. That’s why I love family stories. Perhaps little
house is one of the reasons I have always love stories.
Little house series books were written by
Laura Ingalls Wilder in 1930s. The little house series books are based on old
memories of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s childhood in the Midwest region of the
United States during the late 19th century.
Little house on the prairie is third book
in the series. The story, very briefly is about Laura, a pioneer girl and her
family as they travel by covered wagon into new territory. Once they arrive,
they try to make their new home. They build house, barn, dig well, meet
neighbors and explore fields etc. However, their time in Kansas isn’t without troubles
as the family is plagued by wolves, native Indians, wild fire and diseases.
I was so sad when I came to the last word
in the last book. The little house series covers, little house in the big woods
(1932), farmer boy (1933), little house on the prairie (1935), on the banks of plum creek (1937), by the shores of silver lake (1939), the long winter (1940), little town on the prairie (1941), these happy golden years (1943), the first four years (1971).
After reading the series, I wanted to
live in one room with my whole family and have a corncob doll as my own. I wanted
to do chores like carry water, churn butter, play along the prairie. I say I want
to do all these things though that may not have been what I truly desired. For a
while I had a close imaginary friendship with Laura when reading these books. Everything
in these books are narrated like a scene by scene picturisation of a movie as
clear and sharp so that anyone can visualize it in their mind while reading.
I simply loved the little house books because
of the charm of the language, characters and stories. I believe that the little
house books contain both practical and spiritual lessons that help us
thoughtfully achieve both things. These books are for readers of all ages,
points a bright way down good path.
