I didn't realize just how much Little Town on the Prairie meant to me as a book. I've barely started and every bit feels iconic. This one and Little House on the Prairie feel more like home than most of the other books do.
#little house#little town on the prairie#little house on the prairie#laura ingalls wilder#of course those two also just have to be the most problematic#we'll just move along past the blackface folks#nothing to see here#i'm trying to parse out why i feel such a strong connection to these two in particular#maybe it's because there's a heavy focus on farming and carpentry and small town country life and that's the background i come from#i know that this one already has the best sisterly content#i had a post brewing about how odd it is that of all the classic 'woman writing stories heavily based on her childhood' books#this series has by far the least focus on sisterly bonds#this subject will probably be its own post by the end of the book#i have been loving the greater laura-carrie connection i've never noticed before in the past two books#though i wasn't sure if it was really there or if i just paying more attention after going to the carrie museum#but this book is really giving us laura-mary friendship at last#which is great cuz in the early books she barely talks except to fight with laura#so it'll be nice to see that develop#not to mention we still have the iconic desk scene#(if this book gives mary her due it does continue the anti-older-sister crusade with its portrayal of eliza jane)#anyhow i should stop writing tags now have a good day
