Also watched the tv show, Little House on the Prairie when I lived in Kansas and after my family moved to California in When I lived in Independence, my grandmother took me to the Little House on the prairie museum a few miles south of Independence when I was in grade school. I am now 72 and still remember every detail of that trip. We moved all over Kansas as my father worked on all the missile sites that were being built in Kansas.
When I was 16, we moved to California. Where I continued to watch reruns of Little House on the Prairie. I am so glad I came across this post of the history of Little House on the Prairie! It Brought back a lot of memories and I enjoyed all of the comments of other readers. I liked reading the next story and finding my friends again in a new plot. I am a history nut I love history stuff. I am from malaysia.
Fortunately after many years they appeared on the tv series broadcasting once in a week. I still remember i did all house chores and homework as fast as i can so that I can watch tv series. Really comforting i love this so much i wish one day i can go to walnut grove or wisconsin just to see the panorama.
I am a Bangladeshi woman. And I read another three books from public libraby. Now I am 59 yrs. I have three children. But I lost all theose books. It was a great moment of my life!
Still now I read these books, when I feel lonely! Laura gives me courage and mental calmness. This show is heart warming and heart felt. I wish people would use their morals and values today like they do in show.
I am such a fan—I got my 44 yr old Son interested in the show…. We talk about how our lives have changed over all the years…. I have been a fan of hers since I was a little girl—I am now almost 65 yrs old…. You enter another world when you read the books. I see the movies daily. I got my husband hooked. He thinks that many episodes are very educational.
I absolutely agree! Old movies break a hole to a time that we all have faced and cherished. Many think as I do that we must go back to a certain child memories in order to escape and to live in the present.
I finished the last page and cried because I wanted to go on living in the Big Woods with Ma and Pa and the girls. An Air Force brat, I identified strongly with the Ingalls girls and their many moves. When I was in the fifth grade, my father received orders to go back to Germany, so after just a short year in the states, we were going back to Germany for the second time.
I was heartbroken. Many years later, I read Little House in the Big Woods to my own daughter, who was in kindergarten at the time. When I read the last page and closed the book, she cried. Another reader was born. I just retired after teaching middle school English for 41 years. CSUS made me a teacher, but Laura made me the reader that wanted to become a teacher. I am 70 years old now and still love reading about her.
I was heartbroken at the age of 12 when I finished reading her last book and found out there were no more books written. Delighted to know there are more books now! Thank you , Brenda Behrens. Today, Saturday, February 15, , with the family watching the house on the meadow brings us many memories, thank you for passing this series on TV that is a reality greetings Santiago de Chile.
For me the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder are like comfort food for a sad eater — every time I re-read them, I am encouraged and satisfied. I really treasure the books. My mother used to read them to me and so did I some decades later to my sons. The stories make me smile and cry.
The books that Laura Ingalls Wilder made their heart-warming and they encourged. Read as a child also. Currently reading about the literary gatherings on Friday evenings that Laura enjoyed so much in De Smet. It takes me to places and times that would be wonderful to experience. Thankful for Laura sharing her life, and Rose. This is amazing! My family took a whole trip through each place she lived in, starting in Pepin and ending in Mansfield, Missouri. I read all of the books at least twice and it was fascinating, yet overwhelming, to see everything she wrote about and how the towns that her houses are in had changed over the course of many, many years.
I am from Srilanka, then it was known as Ceylon. I read Little House books in the sixties when I was In my early teens, and was hooked on to all the books ever since.
I have read all the books several times, and I wrote to the publishers in to get more information about Laura Ingalls Wilder. They kindly replied to my request, and sent me a brochure about her which I still treasure to this day.
One day I hope to visit the Rocky Ridge Museum in the future. I like to add that I did not enjoy the television series at all, not like reading the books since I found the series did not reflect the true essence of the books. I am 54 years old. I read the Little House books when I was a child. I love every things about Laura,the books have caused a great impact in my life.
Eu li Uma Casa na Floresta quando adolescente. Seemingly, the books have caused a great impact in my life. We love you, Laura! My favorite is These Happy Golden Years.
Anyone else? I read all the books in the 3rd grade; I absolutely love them. I have continued to reread her beautiful series. Much love, Laura! I love the tv mini series and most of all loved the books and learning the history behind the books.
Hey thanks for the amazing post! This is an original post that was written just for the Little House on the Prairie website. I am 64 years old. The House books left me with great memories of cuddling in bed with a book that took me to the various places Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote of, or slipping out of bed to read by the bathroom light.
I completely agree with you Kathleen. I forget how many times I re-read that series. I could pick up any one of the books in the series and have not be lost because I almost had each story memorized. But I think my favorite has always be the Little House stories.
As I got older I searched for more information about Laura past where her books ended. I still have this little thrill of excitement when I discover something new or a reminder of what I have read, when I find websites like this.
Totally agree with all of the comments above. Think I will go to the library and maybe a book store tomorrow. Happy Birthday Laura! One of my earliest and favourite authors. I have been reading her since grade 1. I have loved the television series also, but prefer the books for the simplicity. I have always tried to behave as Laura would. I even have some poetry she wrote and the articles from her local newspaper.
She had such a talent for describing things that make you able to almost see things. One day I will get to her museums and especially Rocky Ridge. May she continue to inspire readers everywhere of all races and ages. My love of the Little House books was passed down to me by my mother. We took a bucket list trip to her Rocky Ridge Farm. It was amazing to be standing in her home and seeing things that I had read about so many times.
Her books influenced the person I was and who I was to become. She taught us the values of hard work, determination, and devotion to faith and family. I loved reading these books. Laura became a school teacher in De Smet just before her 16th birthday. Their daughter, Rose, was born December 5, , in De Smet. Wilder shared with her daughter, Rose, her stories about growing up in different parts of the frontier. With Laura as author, the two women worked together to begin publishing the stories.
