“When I was five years old, in 1973, I was already a reader. My kindergarten teacher gifted me with a copy of Big Woods. A big book! With chapters! And the girl’s name is Laura, like mine! The yellow box set became mine eventually. Of course as I grew, I learned that no, I couldn’t move the books from fiction in my school library. And as a young preteen, I got hold of more books and biographies and understood Laura wrote for children without traumatizing them. This podcast digs deeper, looking at historical events such as locusts and hard winters, Pa’s state of mind, and should Laura get all the credit for authorship? Highly recommend.”

“I LOVED the Little House books and TV series . This series is a deep dive and deconstruction of the culture and mythology surrounding these stories. While some of it is hard, (racism, manifest destiny) the podcast never becomes a bummer! I still love Laura and Walnut Grove, but now with a...”Read full review »
