You're welcome. Glad I could share.

Very neat!

Glad you enjoyed it, Carol.

Thanks for sharing. I have seen these photos before, but I really want to get my hands on this book so I can review it. Just need some time to read for pleasure.

You're welcome, Cheryl.

Good luck on getting the book and having time for it.

cool

Great info. I wish I could read this book someday. I alrady knew all of the pics the website published, but the one in which an old Laura appears holding a first edition of her little house books. That's so sweet...

I met this author last July at Laurapalooza. No, she's not our Pam from the forum. here is a picture of her. I don't have this book but it was available at the conference. Maybe I'll get a copy next year when I go again.

She looks as a very happy person. Hope someday I can read her book!

I've been trying to find this book somewhere for quite awhile now. I am not going to be going to anything like Laurapalooza this year, but books like this always seem to pop up at the most unexpected historical sites (I am more than likely going to be doing that sort of thing this year again - I am a nerd and I love my historical sites ). In fact, I think I found my plush Laura doll (as the older woman - she is holding a pen and book) at some Mark Twain site. I find things related to Laura at the most random places. Yes, Twain is a writer but the site still isn't associated with LIW.

Then again, I am hoping to make it down to Missouri this year for the 150th anniversary of the battle of Wilson's Creek and that isn't too far from Mansfield. Maybe I will try to swing by there before I go home. and maybe they will have this there.

I'm hoping to go to Missouri this summer too....we have friends that are going to see the LIW sites and are hoping to go along with them. Not sure if it's going to pan out yet, and I'm not sure what month it will be yet either. When are you going?


By the way, nice to see you back on the board, Miss Oleson!

HURRY AMY find out so I can see if I can go!!!

I am hoping to get down there in August. This would be my third time in the area. The first time was specifically FOR Laura's sites. Then when I went again I just passed through and stopped off at the gift shop. Maybe, if I get down there, I will take the tour again. I like the scenery around her home.

Thanks!

I just bought this book from Amazon. Now to make time to read it.

I take your opinions very seriously, Cheryl! When you've read the whole book, please tell us what do you think about it.

Vanesa.

Aw, thanks, Vanesa. Can you also convince my kids that my opinions don't stink? Mothers are stupid until their kids reach their mid-20's.
