“Little House” Boxed Set by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Come here, girls, and sit by the stove. I’ve brought something home from town, and it’s for the both of you.

These are Mrs. Wilder’s books, every one in a box of their own. She passed on just a few winters ago, down in Missouri, but she’s left us her whole life right here between these covers. She was a little girl in a log house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin, and her folks rode in a covered wagon across the Kansas prairie. She lived in a dugout on the banks of Plum Creek, and she came through a long, hard winter in Dakota Territory, when the trains couldn’t get through and the snow buried the town.

Your great-grandmother came west much the same way. When you read about Pa’s fiddle playing by firelight, or Ma making do with nothing at all, you’ll understand a little better what our people went through so we could have this farm, this good roof and that electric light over the table.

There’s a book in here about a farm boy too, so your brother won’t be left out entirely.

Mrs. Wilder knew that a family who works together and loves each other can weather near anything. Read them slow. Read them to each other on winter nights. And someday, when you have girls of your own, you hand them on.

Now, who wants to start with the Big Woods?

This treasured boxed set is ready for your family at Dead Tree Dreams.
