Story
Told from four-year-old Laura's point of view, this story begins in 1871 in a little log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. 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 for the family, since they 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 family celebrate Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do the spring planting, bring in the harvest, and make their first trip into town.

Story
Step into the exquisite miniature world of the mice of Brambly Hedge in this beautiful new edition of the classic book. It was summer and Primrose woke knowing that it was going to be a very special day. The sun was already warm and a light breeze stirred the leaves and branches of Brambly Hedge. It was a perfect day for an adventure. Leaving the hedge behind, Dusty, Poppy, Primrose, and Wilfred set off downstream in Dusty's boat, the Periwinkle, on a journey that would take them all the way down to the sea.
Summary
The adventures continue for Laura Ingalls and her family as they leave their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin and set out for Kansas. They travel for many days in their covered wagon until they find the best spot to build their little house on the prairie. Soon they are planting and plowing, hunting wild ducks and turkeys, and gathering grass for their cows. Sometimes pioneer life is hard, but Laura and her folks are always busy and happy in their new little house.

Just Lovely
If you could sum up Little House on the Prairie in three words, what would they be?
Time gone by.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Little House on the Prairie?
The fiddle playing is just gorgeous and really adds to the audio book.
Which character – as performed by Cherry Jones – was your favourite?
I don't have a favourite - she has a beautiful voice which is lovely to listen to.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Definitely.
Any additional comments?
We are so happy these audio books have finally come to Audible as the cds were difficult to get hold of and could be quite pricey. They are such lovely versions of these stories which we have all enjoyed listening to. Can't recommend highly enough :D

Little House on the Prairie
I read these books a long time ago and they really gripped me. Sadly there was something lacking in this reading. The singing and that discordant fiddle really grated. Maybe that was what passed as entertainment, in which case they have my sympathies. I shall not be downloading the rest of the series.

I read some Little House books when I was a kid, growing up on the East Coast, and even though they were very popular with some of my girlfriends, I never really liked them much. Listening to this audiobook has converted me. The narrator does a stellar job in making this tale come alive. Five stars to her and to Laura Ingalls Wilder for writing it all down.

Great for kids and adults
Another wonderful installment in this series. I completely understand why this became a classic. It’s so fascinating to see things from the Ingall family’s perspective as they travel out west and try to settle on the prairie. I haven’t often read books in this type of setting, so it’s a great change of pace, and I feel I’m learning so much about what life was like back then. Those were some really tough people to be able to go out and do the things they did without the help and conveniences of modern technology. This book was a little more exciting than the first one because the family actually faces some significant dangers that threaten their lives. But, just like before, there were also plenty of sweet moments that made me smile. I actually don’t remember any particularly funny moments, though, which was something the first book had several instances of. Still, I really loved this book and I’m glad to finally be reading and enjoying this classic series. Content Advisory: Prejudice: Pa treats the Indians he meets with a great deal of respect as fellow human beings and leads his family to behave respectfully as well (though Ma is very much afraid of the Indians, especially when they come in the house, demand to be fed, and occasionally take things they want without asking). However, they have a neighbor who believes “The only good Indian is a dead Indian,” and says this out loud several times. Violence: The Ingalls Family (including the dog, Jack) is in peril several times due to crossing a deep river, wild fire, wolves, other humans, and malaria (Nothing icky described. The disease gives everyone a bad fever and makes them too weak/sleepy to function normally.). A significant theme in the book is related to the fear of an Indian massacre happening. The violence of a massacre that is said to have happened elsewhere is not described. However, there is a point where the fear of another massacre becomes very real because the Ingalls family is able to hear in the distance a gathering of the Indians in which there are many drums, and at one point, much yelling. Laura in particular becomes very afraid, screams and cannot sleep. (Everything ends up okay in the end, though.) There is brief description of some animals that were killed for food: A rabbit is said to have been “shot through the eye”, and a bird had it’s head “shot clean off”.

WHEN MOM SPOKE LIKE THAT,
THEY DID AS THEY WERE TOLD
This is a great wonderful book. I loved every single minute of it. It is heart warming, entertaining and instructional. Things get too crowed in Wisconsin, since almost once a day the Ingalls see a wagon going down the road close to their house. We follow the family as they travel to Kansas over frozen lakes, through woods and over the prairies. We meet wolves, panthers and Indians.
KNEE DEEP, KNEE DEEP
I am partial to heart warming books that show love between the parents and the kids. Several times I teared up in joy. I admit that I am a little more sensitive then some others on this subject, but no matter how hard you are, this will have you feeling good.
Cherry Jones
This narrator is one of the best in the business.
THERE IS NO GREAT LOSS, WITH OUT SOME SMALL GAIN
To Sacramento and Austin, if you read this far. I know what you are doing and how you are doing it. I have the same power in spades, so how about you don't use that negative power on me and I won't use mine on you.

The Wildness Of Pure Heart
The Big Woods have gotten too settled for Pa and the Ingalls family, so it's off to Indian Territory. There a Little House is built, one that becomes home, complete with glass windows.
This wonderful book is really enlivened by the writing: a thousand dickey birds, singing the family to sleep with a thousand songs; stars so close they sing little Laura to sleep as well (but not before exciting her imagination!); the waking nightmare of an Indian War Cry.
There is love of family here, and of neighbors (the introduction of the stalwart Mr. Edwards); there is the excitement of being in a land that is an endless sea of grass; there are wildfires, gusty winters, Santa Claus, and Indian Jamborees that may turn deadly.
As always, Cherry Jones narrates with heart and energy, and she sings the family's tunes with gusto.
A great addition to the series!
