The "Little House" series was probably my first series. I have loved Laura Ingalls Wilder ever since and have read her other books. I have the "Little House Cookbook." I have been to her house in Mansfield, Missouri (now a Laura Ingalls Wilder museum). Growing up, I always felt some kind of bond with her, as she died in 1957 and I was born later that year. Weird, I know, but kids are weird.
I have also collected other books by and about LIW. I have two cookbooks one that were some of her recipes at the farm and the other a collection of recipes that follow the foods mentioned in the little house series. I really think the one that follows the series is wonderful for kids reading the books. Some of the recipes can help set the scene and perhaps provide a glimpse of what daily life was like. The books of her columns about being a farm wife and country living still have a great deal of value in today's world. If you enjoy her you might want to scout out some of the books by and about Tasha Tudor. TT created her own world and lived an eccentric but beautiful life.
