The editors of the Little House on the Prairie® website are pleased to bring you interesting articles, interviews, fan features, videos, and much more.
I love this website! I can’t believe I never stumbled across it before considering how many times I have looked up stuff about Laura Ingalls Wilder (and family). I have only recently realized just how popular Little House is. I thought i was something of an anomaly! I read the books many times over as a girl, have read many of the magazine articles she wrote, and I have been watching the tv series over and over ever since it first aired. I am 52 and still watching! (I have the whole series on dvd.)
One thing that I am surprised to not see on this site (and would really like to) is a section on fashion. I remember in the later books Laura described the dresses they made for for Mary and then herself in quite a lot of detail, as well as their hair styles.
Something I would love to know is whether any LH fans have tried making a green pumpkin pie, and if it really does taste like apple. If I can ever get my hands on a green pumpkin, I intend to give it a try!
I am so glad that I came across your site. The Ingles family grew on our family. I watched some of the episodes as a child, usually at eight o’ clock on Friday evenings. That was long ago . If I am not mistaken 1979 about. So today I have four of my own children and we home school them. We are currently going through all the seasons again for the second time together with the children. We have learned a lot from the television series as well as from the Laura books that we read every evening after supper. I like to sit with google earth and pin point all the places that we read about of in the books.
We just cant get enough of it.
So interesting.
What an inspiration your family is in today’s world! Keep them youngsters humble and caring and interested. Great job dad!!
