Little House Nine-Book Box Set |
Wolves and panthers and bears roam the deep Wisconsin woods in the late 1870's. In those same woods, Laura lives with Pa and Ma, and her sisters, Mary and Baby Carrie, in a snug little house built of logs. Pa hunts and traps. Ma makes her own cheese and butter. All night long, the wind howls lonesomely, but Pa plays the fiddle and sings, keeping the family safe and cozy.
Little House on the PrairiePa Ingalls decides to sell the little log house, and the family sets out for Indian country! They travel from Wisconsin to Kansas, and there, finally, Pa builds their little house on the prairie. Sometimes farm life is difficult, even dangerous, but Laura and her family are kept busy and are happy with the promise of their new life on the prairie.
Farmer BoyWhile Laura Ingalls grows up in a little house on the western prairie, Almanzo Wilder is living on a big farm in New York State. Almanzo and his brother and sisters work at their chores from dawn to supper most days -- no matter what the weather. There is still time for fun, though, especially with the horses, which Almanzo loves more than anything.
On the Banks of Plum CreekLaura's family's first home in Minnesota is made of sod, but Pa builds a clean new house made of sawed lumber beside Plum Creek. The money for materials will come from their first wheat crop. Then, just before the wheat is ready to harvest, a strange glittering cloud fills the sky, blocking out the sun. Soon millions of grasshoppers cover the field and everything on the farm. In a week's time, there is no wheat crop left at all.
By the Shores of Silver LakePa Ingalls heads west to the unsettled wilderness of the Dakota Territory. When Ma, Mary, Laura, Carrie, and baby Grace join him, they become the first settlers in the town of De Smet. And Pa begins work on the first building in what will soon be a brand-new town on the shores of Silver Lake.
The Long WinterThe first terrible storm comes to the barren prairie in October. Then it snows almost without stopping until April. Snow has reached the rooftops, and no trains can get through with food or coal. The people of De Smet are starving, including Laura's family, who wonder how they're going to make it through this terrible winter. It is young Almanzo Wilder who finally understands what needs to be done. He must save the town, even if it means risking his own life.
Little Town on the PrairieThe long winter is over. With spring come socials, parties, and "Literaries." There is also work to be done. Laura spends many hours each day sewing shirts to help send Mary to a college for the blind. But in the evenings, Laura makes time for a new caller, Almanzo Wilder.
These Happy Golden YearsLaura is teaching school, and it's terrifying! Most of the students are taller than she is, and she must sleep away from home for the first time. Laura is miserable, but the money is needed to keep Mary in a college for the blind. And every Friday -- no matter what the weather -- Almanzo Wilder arrives to take Laura home to her family for the weekend. Laura and Almanzo are courting, and even though she's not yet sixteen, she knows that this is a time for new beginnings.
The First Four YearsLaura and Almanzo Wilder have just been married! Their life on a small prairie homestead begins with high hopes. But each year seems to bring unexpected disasters -- storms, sickness, fire, and unpaid debts. These first four years call for courage, strength, and a great deal of determination. Always, though, there is love, especially for the newest member of the family -- baby Rose.
名人推荐LITTLE HOUSE. BIG ADVENTURE. Celebrate the original nine books that started it all! When Laura Ingalls Wilder first wrote of her experiences growing up in the 1800s, no one could have predicted the impact her stories would have on generations of children to come! Follow Laura’s life from the glorious days spent tucked in the Big Woods of Wisconsin, all the way through to her marriage to Almanzo and the birth of her own little girl in this complete box set, once again available with Garth Williams’ beloved artwork.
作者简介Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867 in the log cabin described in Little House in the Big Woods. As her classic Little House books tell us, she and her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest. She and her husband, Almanzo Wilder, made their own covered-wagon trip with their daughter, Rose, to Mansfield, Missouri. There Laura wrote her story in the Little House books, and lived until she was ninety years old. For millions of readers, however, she lives forever as the little pioneer girl in the beloved Little House books.
网友对Little House Nine-Book Box Set的评论
我买过一本04版,发觉此套书若无插图感觉差多了!
已下载过9本全套的pdf电子扫描版,觉得74版的值得收藏!!!
美国经济危机时出版的书,不知道纸张咋样?内容肯定没问题的。想买,这旧书也太贵了哦!
一般来说,这样的包装是作为收藏或礼物的,有点不符合期待。这个系列倒是很全,比另外一套5本的算是齐全了不少。插图也是Garth先生的。只是啊,只是好像是亚洲盗印版,印刷次数的编码不对劲,纸张发黑,图片于是格外的不精美。平装也没见过这么粗糙的,下回还是去海外买吧。
作为奖品发的,看着不错!
I wouldn't recommend these volumes to those who remember the classic hardcovers with all the quaint drawings from Garth William which are NOT included here. I wish the advertisement would have pointed that out. I would not have purchased them. It's straight read of all the books.
Great set. All nine books together in a neat little box. The quality of the paper and box is not super high, but at this price I wouldn't expect hardcovers. Nice to have the whole series so my little one can see our progress and look forward to the next, and next, and next book!
This is a classic, largely autobiographical historic series that takes you through one family's personal story of western migration in the US in the 1800s. Two little girls, their baby sister, the dog Jack, and Ma and Pa in a covered wagon. There was a prime-time television version in the 1970s and 80s, but you're better off reading the books first to absorb more of the detail and the struggles and the reality of their lives. The TV show glosses over some of what made the books so fascinating, which was the endless ingenuity (and grind) of homesteading -- primarily dealing with a world where there are no grocery stores, no electricity or telephones, limited technology. Creating shelter from resources available in the wilderness, and food preparation - planning, seed saving, farming, canning, preserving, smoking, etc... is a major and primary task. The controversy of pushing out Native Americans is also paramount in the stories and a good talking point about fairness, equality, manifest destiny, sustainability...
Hard to imagine surviving like this today, but there are many "preppers" in our society who believe this time will come again, and many in the sustainable movement now who feel that these traditional ways were healthier for body and spirit! The bravery of the early settlers is mindblowing. Get inspired and re-read these classics with your kids... and then go camping!
This was a Christmas gift and I was very pleased, as was the recipient. The slipcover is lovely and the books are a pleasure to hold in the hands - nice shape, not too heavy. I could not find this information anywhere online, but these books ARE printed in the United States of America. I would expect nothing less from a nonprofit that calls itself "The Library of America" and claims to be preserving American Literature, but you never know these days. I would have returned them if they had arrived otherwise!
Each night I read these books to my 8 yr old daughter. We started a few months ago with the first in the series, Little House in the Big Woods. I also have a 5 yr old who is sometimes interested in the books, but most of the time she falls asleep within minutes of me starting to read. My 8 yr old, however, is very involved in the story and she has been highly inspired by Laura Ingall's life that she often pretends she is Laura, and that life is hard but one must keep up one's spirit and be thankful for what you have, and care for one another.
These books are full of adventure, but they are also full of humanity, strength in the face of adversity, faith, life's little pleasures and treasures, and a lot of love. I find myself thinking about their life often, even when doing mundane things like eating. For example, the last time I ate a potato with sour cream I felt so grateful. For unlike the Ingalls during a time when they were literally starving, I had something to put on my potato and it was a treat and not survival food. My daughter, who is used to bountiful Christmases, was impressed with the Ingalls childrens' appreciation for little things, like only a candy cane and a pair of mittens for Christmas. For them, these two small gifts made for a wonderful Christmas. How we could all learn from their gratitude, and sense of happiness without almost any possessions, only each other.
As I write this, we are reading the 7th book, The Long Winter. We are really enjoying this one. As we snuggle together in our bed during storytime, warm and cozy, we read about the sheer suffering of the Ingalls in the endless blizzards in Dakota Territory, and feel truly blessed. Laura and her sisters' beds are so cold that they must take a hot iron each and place it under the blankets to help keep their feet warm. But through all of their adventures and hardships, they always manage to have fun, and little treats, and these books remind us of the value in austerity, and how it compels you to appreciation what you do have. They also paint a vivid portrait of what life was like back then. It is a real gift to us all that we have such eloquent, colorful and accurate accounts of a life so far removed from our own, yet not so long ago in the grand scheme of things.
The books provoke a lot of thought, especially in times when Pa remarks on how the railroad has changed society, and that "progress" was not all good. My daughter and I talked about just how far that progress went, and what we felt were good things about living in the Ingalls' time vs. our modern times. We both concluded that technology has killed many valuable aspects of family and community. At least we have books like these to remind us how it once was, and cause us to think about how we might do better in our own lives. For example, I no longer begrudge the chores quite so much when I consider the work that the Ingalls had to do each day. I feel inspired to instead see my chores, made easy by comparison thanks to technology, as something of importance. I am not just doing the dishes or washing clothes, I am taking care of the people I love.
I hope that in addition to the historical and entertainment value of these books, others are/will also be inspired to be better people, better Christians (if you so believe), better sisters, daughters, wives, husbands, etc. Not complain and whine as much, not wish for more things or waht you don't have, but love what you DO have, that true happiness is in giving, not receiving, that patience is indeed a virtue, and that we all have inner strength if only we couple it with faith and the support of those who love us and believe in us. Attitude is so important. When life gave the Ingalls' many, many lemons, they always made lemonade, and maybe they split it 6 ways but they were always grateful for that couple of sips nonetheless. Nothing was wasted either, which was yet another inspiring message for us 21st century profligates. If possible, anything that can be resurrected into something useful, ought to be. Finally, the love and care they shared was the greatest lesson to be gleaned from these literary gems. The sacrifices they made to send Mary to college would put many from the "ME" generation to shame.
In summary, these books are incredibly rich on so many levels and I highly encourage anyone to read them, and to read them to your children. In my experience, ages 7+ will be most receptive. We did skip over some of the somewhat tedious descriptions of outfits and farm equipment, etc, in some of the earlier books but we didn't encounter many of them in later books. What pleases me most about the books is watching my daughter at play, imagining she is Laura Ingalls, and seeing her embodying Laura's qualities, such as compassion, patience, fortitude, and a keen sense of justice. What more could a parent ask for, especially in an era of questionable "role models" and activities designed to further separate us from what really matters - each other. We will be very sad when we finished up the last 2 books. For this series has become like a warm, comfy blanket on a chilly winter's night.
