Summary: The best parts of the Little House books all rolled into one
Review: The best parts of "Plum Creek", Little Town on the Prarie", "The Long Winter" and "Happy Golden Years" all rolled into one. Very exciting. I could not put it down. She gets right to the action, and leaves out all of the uneventful chapters on weaving, needlework and churning butter, etc., that her mother put into the Little House books. You can see that the best parts of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books were a direct result of Rose Wilder Lane's input. Her writing is vivid and exciting.

Summary: The Little House Book Improved
Review: This book is a tad more exciting then Laura's books, it gets to the point, I suppose. A reccomended read for those who enjoy adventure and historic fiction as well.

Summary: Very good
Review: Wonderful story, but much harsher and bleaker than her mother's own writings about settling in the West. A stunning work about a struggle for independence I couldn't even imagine.
