5.0 out of 5 stars Glimpses of the Past, 11 Feb 2004
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Little House in the Big Woods (Little House (Original Series Paperback)) (Mass Market Paperback)
Life is hard living on the frontier of Wisconsin in the 1870's. Laura is only a little girl, but she still needs to help with chorus around her family's log cabin. There are wild animals in the woods, and they must provide for themselves since the nearest town in hours away. But it's not all hard work. If Pa's not tired, he might entertain his daughters with a story or by playing his fiddle. With family relatively nearby to visit, life is certainly never dull.

I had not read these books since I was a child until picking this up to reread. I had forgotten how entertaining they really are. There is no real plot, just a collection of stories covering a year in the life of the Ingalls family. This makes sense since they really are an autobiographical work. Still, the simple charm of the stories sucked me right in and I had a hard time putting the book down. There is plenty of detail here to give anyone a good picture of daily life during this time. And I must mention the illustrations by Garth Williams that greatly add to the book.

There's a reason these books are so well loved 70 years after they were written. They are an entertaining look at everyday life in a different time and place. This is a book to treasure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Little House in the Big woods, 12 Jan 2008
It is a true story about her childhood with her Ma, Pa and her sister Mary. My favourite character is Pa because of his strong will to finish something and his positive attitude towards everything. It is about Christmas with her family, cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles. They move from one area to another in the Big Woods. Pa built the house for them to live in with some help. It is filled with happiness and joy and sorrow and excitement and anger. It was exciting when a wolf nearly got Mary one time while Pa was out. It is a true story of her life which was so wonderful. It felt like a diary. 7 - 13 year olds would like this book. I would rate it 100/ 10 because it was so fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magical, 6 Sep 2000
I read this book as a child thirty years ago (now that's a frightening thing to see in print) and loved it. My daughter, aged 10, has now fallen in love with it.

It is a magical recreation of a simpler life in a very different time and today's children wonder at how people could survive in a world of bears and cougars and snow as high as the roof of the house with no central heating, television or gameboy !
