Want to take a great vacation with your family this summer? Then this book is for you.
If you've already read the Little House books, you know that Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote lovingly about the houses where she and her family lived. Today, these homes have been preserved as historical sites and museums. Each year, thousands of Laura's fans flock to the homes that she described in her books. They want to see where she lived, where she played, and where she grew up.
Now, thanks to author William Anderson, we have a book that gives hundreds of details on eight of the homes that Laura wrote about. Don't let the word guidebook fool you. This book is that and so much more.
Colored tabs mark each chapter for easy access by you, the reader. There are many great features in the book. Take a room-to-room tour of Laura's Rocky Ridge Farmhouse. Walk down the streets of De Smet, her little town on the prairie. A street map is included for your convenience, as are phone numbers and addresses to each site.
The book includes detailed instructions to all eight sites. It tells you how to get there, where to stay, where to eat and even lists other places to explore in the area of each home. Did you ever wonder what happened to Pa's fiddle? The book has the answer to that question and many others about the Little House series.
William Anderson's research is accurate and he goes into great detail to make this book interesting for anyone who picks it up. Illustrator Leslie A. Kelly has done a fantastic job with the photographs of the little houses, monuments to Laura and other memorabilia.
This book will take you on a journey you will never forget. From New York to South Dakota, you will walk in the steps of Laura and her family. A fantastic trip for readers of all ages.
