This was a very nice book. Laura Ingles Wilder wrote a collection of articles and essays, and they were compiled into this book. It is about her life in the Ozark Mountain farm of her and Almonzo in southern Missouri. There they had an apple orchard, which Almonzo managed, and Laura was busy as both a "farm wife" and an author of articles for local publications. This book takes you back in time to an era where life was simpler. It is a very good read. (Amazon customer)
