5.0 out of 5 stars Harsh times, Warm Family, 17 Dec 2000
This review is from: The Long Winter (Puffin Books) (Paperback)
This is the fifth book in Laura Ingalls Wilder's slightly fictionalized account of the life of pioneers in the 1860-80 period. This is an account of one of the toughest winters on record, as it was lived by a family with nothing to rely on but themselves and their neighbors. Cut off from any chance of supply, only in their first year of homesteading, they had very little in the way of food or supplies when the hard winter predicted by an ancient Native American comes to pass. There is every real chance that the tiny town on the treeless steppe of South Dakota will starve before the Hard Winter turns into spring. Only the bravery of Laura's future husband, Almanzo Wilder, and his freind Cap Garland, who go out in a break in the weather to track down a "possible" source of food, saves them from starvation. It is a truly heroic story told in a straightforward and loving fashion from the teenaged girl who survived it with her family by dent of ingenuity. One of my favorites of the series which I continue to reread as an adult on a yearly basis. Highly recommended for children 11 and up.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping read, 30 April 2003
By T J Lockyer (Buckfastleigh, Devon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Long Winter (Little House (Original Series Paperback)) (Paperback)
Was entralled from the beginning by this children's book, and I am 31! I have read the other 4 early years books and this is my favourite. Although the book is about a tough period in the idyllic series , it loses nothing of it's innocence and magic. And makes me hanker for a time long gone...Full of nostalgia and poignancy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A long winter with many stories!, 12 April 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Long Winter (Hardcover)
Every chapter holds a new part, or story to this fantastic book by Laura Ingalls. You can just imagine being in the blizzard, stuck at school in the snow, wondering when the next train will come. I particuly liked the part when it was Christmas, I could just imagine what it would be like with the brilliant describing words she used. It gave a great insight into how it was in those times and how they used to live. This is a great book for anyone who likes an easy read and a great book you can't put down

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Read
These books were mainly written for a young audience. I'm a hugh Little House fan, both books and the TV series and, as a more "mature" person, I come back to the books again... Read more
