![]() ![]() There isn’t even much dialogue between the two recorded for us to read about what they talked about during their hours of buggy rides. But again, Laura writes by showing, not telling. Not that love is mentioned in the book at all. Laura is naive, silently stubborn, and falls in love without her really knowing it. All the reports of moving help Laura comes to term with the fact that her life will move on beyond the Little House. She even sends some characters back east and shows how Ma’s family and Almanzo’s family has moved. Wilder is a master at writing simple show-not-tell descriptions.Īnd in this book, she wraps up the series theme of going west by showing the characters who still long to go further west, but know its time to settle. Once I had finished that, I wanted to read the end of the story, so to speak, so I skipped over Little Town on the Prairie and went right for These Happy Golden Years. So I decided to read The Long Winter since it was winter. I wanted fiction since I had read a bunch of history lately. I needed something to read the other night. ![]() ![]() ![]() But there is something homey about reading the same copies of the books that your mother read to you when you were a kid that became the same copies you have read over and over again. For awhile I toyed with the idea of buying a new set especially when I saw a large read-aloud edition. The rest of the boxed set looks the same. My copy of These Happy Golden Years has seen better days. ![]()
