About this listen

The book that started it all! Little House in the Big Woods is the first book in Laura Ingalls Wilder's treasured Little House series, which is based on her life growing up as an American pioneer.

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. 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 history and a heartwarming, unforgettable story.

Re visited at age 54 yrs and as good as it was at 8 yrs. I appreciated it more knowing as an adult that it isn't a work of fiction but a genuine story of growing up in a time that is long gone.Captivating.Cherry Jones was a perfect narrator and the fiddle playing is a wonderful touch.

This is a great story, which is just as interesting for a seven-year-old to listen to as it is for their grandmother!!

I can't explain how much I adore these books, the tv show and now the audiobooks. Such a lovely job done by the narrator, I honestly can't fault it. An audio book that everyone should listen to from age 1 to 99!!

I love this series!
