Books with author Garth Williams(Illustrator) Laura Ingalls Wilder

Laura Ingalls's story begins in 1871 in a little log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. Four-year-old Laura lives in the little house with her Pa, her Ma, her sisters Mary and Carrie, and their trusty dog, Jack. Pioneer life is sometimes hard, since the family must grow or catch all their own food as they get ready for the cold winter. But it is also exciting as Laura and her folks celebrate Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do the spring planting, bring in the harvest, and make their first trip into town. And every night they are safe and warm in their little house, with the happy sound of Pa's fiddle sending Laura and her sisters off to sleep. And so begins Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved story of a pioneer girl and her family. The nine Little House books have been cherished by generations of readers as both a unique glimpse into America's frontier past and a heartwarming, unforgettable story.

First Harper Trophy Editions, by Laura Ingalls Wilder. All nine softcovers appear to be unread and 7 of them are very good with very little wear or rubbing, flat, tight and clean inside, but with yellowing inside covers and pages. The First Four Years has a 1 circled on the top of the front cover. More seriously, two of the volumes are in bad shape, with one barely acceptable and one just good, OK reading copies but not collectible. Farmer Boy has the cover coming loose and there is lots of tape reinforcement at the spine, also with a chunk out of the top right corner of the front cover. By the Shores of Silver Lake has the front cover torn through in the middle and most of the bottom 1/4 the back cover is torn off. Note also that The First Four Years has a 1972 publication date while all the others have 1971.

The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as Pa, Ma, Laura, Mary, Carrie, and little Grace bravely face the hard winter of 1880-81 in their little house in the Dakota Territory. Blizzards cover the little town with snow, cutting off all supplies from the outside. Soon there is almost no food left, so young Almanzo Wilder and a friend make a dangerous trip across the prairie to find some wheat. Finally a joyous Christmas is celebrated in a very unusual way in this most exciting of all the Little House books.
