Life in the 1870s Mid West
Life in the Wisconsin woods in the 1870’s is portrayed through the eyes of 4 year old Laura. The roots of the gun toting culture can be seen here. The father shows his 4 year old daughter how to make and load bullets, clean a gun, and go off to the woods to shoot some poor animal for fresh meat. Life esp. for the women was so hard. Everything was homemade – from bread, butter, cheese, maple syrup, meat had to be preserved and kept for the winters. Even little girls had to behave like little ladies helping in all household chores. The Sunday rules for children were so ridiculous! Same goes for the obsession with blonde hair. It’s amusing to note that children got a whipping for the slightest misbehavior (unlike today’s spoilt brats). Girls in those days had only one fine dress to wear on all occasions and were happy to play with corn cobs of a doll, pig bladders (disgusting!), roast pig tails (ugh!!). Illustrations by Garth Williams are beautiful as well as helpful!

Not for me!
Felt like there's no starting or ending. So boring and mundane story I ever read. Maybe a good one, but I completely dislike this one

Chapter Names are missing
I bought this book even though I had one (downloaded from internet), because of the authentic, original content and want to pay respect to the work by purchasing it. However, the Table of Contents is shown as "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2", etc; Whereas in the free downloaded copy it is clearly given as "Little House in the Big Woods", "Winter Days and Winter Nights", etc. Don't you think this is the way it has to be reflected in the original content? Chapters has got beautiful names and what is stopping it to reflect in the kindle book?

Mon préféré …
J’ai adoré ce livre. J’ai acheté la série complète pour moi car je souhaitais m’en inspirer pour réaliser des modèles de grilles de point de croix. J’ai pris plaisir à la lecture des livres de Laura …et j’ai appris beaucoup de choses également ….

Amazing!!!
Livro maravilhoso, com letras grandes que facilitam a leitura, papel especial, lindas ilustrações! O diálogo é bem simples e muito recomendado para treinar o inglês. Mais brasileiros estudantes de inglês precisam descobrir este livro. Vale o investimento!

A wonderful story of a loving family
This book is so great to read with my daughter. It is fun to hear about life back in the 1800's in Wisconsin, USA. It is interesting to read about how they made maple syrup, butter, and lots of other foods that we take for granted. It's a heart-warming story about a family and the love they have for each other.

Kindle 挿絵なし版ですので注意
題が Little House in the Big Woods: Little House on the Prairie #1 (English Edition) となっているものは、挿絵がついていません。 Little House in the Big Woods (Little House on the Prairie Book 1) (English Edition) のほうがお馴染みの挿絵のついている原著です。 原著は著者Laura Elisabeth Ingalls Wilderさんは 1957年2月10日 にお亡くなりになったので、日本など著作権保護期間が短い国では著作権が切れており(ただし2018年からはアメリカなどと同じくTPPか入国は70年の保護期間となります)、そのまま著作権の問題なしにコピペで複製版を安価で売っているのでしょうが、挿絵のGarth Montgomery Williamsさんは1996年5月8日にお亡くなりになったので、かなり著作権が短い国でも著作権を無視しない限り、挿絵までの複製版を作るのは無理でしょうね。 いずれにしても、少々ずるい商法ではあると思いますが、しかし、只といってもいいぐらいの値段で文章全体を試し読みできるのですから、それなりに意味のある版だと思います。ただ、コピペ版ですから、おそらく思わぬペースト忘れでの脱落や二重ペーストなどの可能性はあると思いますね。ちゃんと楽しみたい方は、Little House in the Big Woods (Little House on the Prairie Book 1) (English Edition) のほうを購入するほうが、相当高くなりますが、安心できるかと思います。 ざっと英語をみたところ、馴染みのない単語はぽつぽつ出てきますが、この作品のファンで一定程度の英語力と情熱がある方なら、類推しながらでも比較的楽に読めるでしょう。Kindle では単語をセレクトするとサービスで意味もでてくるので、わざわざ辞書を引く必要もありませんね。英語自体も、いい意味で子供向けの、つまり、子供もわかるようにシンプルに丁寧に書いたものながら、しっかりした風格のある英語です。音声はAudible版があって、こちらは試聴しましたが、こちらも非常にはっきりとした芸術的朗読だと思います。 少々レビューとしては相応しくない内容かもしれませんが、この版に挿絵がないことを知らずに購入すると、たとえ安価でも相当気分を害されると思うので、書いておきました。
