About this listen

Fifteen-year-old Laura lives apart from her family for the first time, teaching school in a claim shanty 12 miles from home. She is very homesick but keeps at it so that she can help pay for her sister Mary's tuition at the college for the blind. During school vacations Laura has fun with her singing lessons, going on sleigh rides, and, best of all, helping Almanzo Wilder drive his new buggy. Friendship soon turns to love for Laura and Almanzo in the romantic conclusion of this Little House book.

This entire series has been so well narrated by Cherry Jones who really brings Laura and her family to life. I love how Laura's strong character comes through so well in this story as she matures into a young lady.

Pure escapism, amazing pioneering tales.

BEST!!!!!!!

This is such a great ending of the Little House books. The First Four Years is written differently so I don't count it.
I found some of the performers pronunciation really annoying. Did she have no other way of saying "beautiful"? It lost its impact in the end. Also the gushing way Carrie said "Oh Laura!" became annoying.
Shone is pronounced shon not shown.
Primer is pime er not prim er.
Other than that, super!

Great story
