Mom gave me a full set of Little House on the Prairie books in a nice slipcase one Christmas when I was a kid. I never actually read them until last year. I also read her James Herriot All Creatures Great and Small books that she kept recommending. I really enjoyed all of these books, but extreme guilt was probably the only way I was ever going to get around to reading them. While I can say these books would appeal to anyone of any age, me as a little kid was not going to read the girly-looking Little House books. (Actually, I might not let a little kid read the last book, The First Four Years. It's way too grim.) The books are exciting in places, but not action books.
I found these clippings in the slipcase about Laura Ingalls Wilder. They are from a Springfield, Missouri newspaper. You can visit her final home near Springfield as it is a museum. Pa's fiddle is on display there.
