Little Town on the Prairie CD

The classic series I loved as a child!

I recently ordered the full set of nine books of the Laura Ingalls Wilder classic Little House series and I am completely thrilled with what I received. After reading so many comments posted by disappointed reviewers, I was skeptical I would be able to get "the real deal" by ordering these from Amazon. The books I received are exactly as I remember owning as a child in the seventies..hardcover with a matching colored jacket, black and white illustrations by the wonderful Garth Williams and each one is everything they should be. In addition, I noticed that the copy of "Little House on the Prairie" is the updated and revised edition, which includes colored illustrations, a short bio about Laura, an introduction to how Garth Williams became the new illustrator for her books, a few songs and a collection of letters written in Laura's own hand. The pages of this book are crisper and whiter, with a bit of gloss on them similar to a higher quality coffee table style book, and the whole book feels a bit heavier than the others. These are truly the classic children's books you'll want to collect and share, and with each one less expensive than the printed cover price, the entire set of nine cost about $12 apiece, a bargain! I bought the entire series by choosing each one separately, rather than just looking for a full set. Even though I had to be careful to pick through all the paperback and kindle versions, after putting hardcover in the search box, you'll see all the titles listed individually. I plan to give them as a set to my niece, beginning her collection with "Little House in the Big Woods" for her sixth birthday this year. Don't be put off by the negative comments written by a few of the reviewers. Just take a little more time searching through the selections, and you'll get exactly what you want! Read more
