Once again, I've fallen grossly behind on updating my blog--I read Pioneer Girl back in June! To make it up, I am committing myself to posting at least once daily until I am caught up. In all fairness, though, July was crazy as I was taking two summer courses at once. But, still...
Anyway, Pioneer Girl. I loved it! I can't suggest it to anyone who is not deeply interested in Laura Ingalls Wilder and her Little House books. But if, like me, you enjoy the Little House books (despite some of their views that are very much of their time and distasteful in ours) and want to know more about the woman (women?) who wrote them and about the actual childhood of the actual Laura (rather than the fictional one) then this is guaranteed to be a fascinating read. Photographs of the Ingalls family and the many places where they lived abound and add to the interest of this work. It's fascinating to read this early draft of what became the Little House stories and to get an idea of how they evolved. It's also fun to learn all sorts of other facts about the life and times of Laura Ingalls Wilder. So as I said, if you're a Little House or Laura Ingalls Wilder junkie, this book is not to be missed!
