Books with author Garth Williams(Illustrator) Laura Ingalls Wilder

Yet another panel in the saga of the Ingalls' family, and a good one. Laura is thirteen when the winter of 1880-81 brings danger to Dakota territory. Just in time the crops are harvested and the little family moves into the tiny village. But even so, no one was prepared to meet seven months of almost incessant blizzards, with no trains bringing food into the snowbound community. This is a story of courageous imagination in the face of near despair -- and of how the spirit that helped build our country carried the Ingalls and their neighbors through to safety. In this book, the brothers of Farmer Boy come into the picture, and the Wilder and Ingalls families are brought together. Sell as true story material.

A new beginning Laura and Almanzo Wilder have finally married. They begin their new life together on their small prairie homestead - but Laura is still not convinced that she wants to be a farmer's wife! The newlyweds have high hopes for their future together. Challenged by storms, sickness, fire, and debt, Laura and Almanzo survive with courage, strength, and most importantly, love.

While Laura Ingalls grows up in a little house on the western prairie, Almanzo Wilder is living on a big farm in New York State. Here Almanzo and his brother and sisters help with the summer planting and fall harvest. In winter there is wood to be chopped and great slabs of ice to be cut from the river and stored. Time for fun comes when the jolly tin peddler visits, or best of all, when the fair comes to town. This is Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved story of how her husband Almanzo grew up as a farmer boy far from the little house where Laura lived.
