Little Town in the Ozarks (Little House Sequel)

I love the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. Although not written by her it’s still an enjoyable book.

Enjoying the story very much!

A little worn around the edges but that makes for a good book. Kindle has nothing on a tattered cover, yellowing pages and the smell of old print.

Product was as described! I really want to praise the seller! MKmedia went above and beyond, correcting a mistake made by the post office! Thank you for taking care of us!

received book.I love these kind of books.would recommend seller

I love reading stories dated back in the 1800's. I love Laura Ingalls Wilder and any books pertaining to her life. It is interesting reading how hard times where for her and then reading how she raised her daughter Rose. I hope every young girl reads all the Little House books and then continue on with the other series.

A joy to read these as I remember the delight of the first Little House books from my childhood--50 years later and I am once again enthralled.

Love all of these books.

Things are starting to get quite repetitive now we’re onto the fifth book of the series and Rose is still only twelve (and a half.)This book did bring with it some sad news however, with the author, Roger Lea MacBride, having died in March 1995. From the sounds of the “author’s” note (his daughter), there were four unfinished manuscripts, with this being one of them.I can’t really see any difference between what Roger wrote and what a ghostwriter/his daughter added in, to polish up the manuscript and make it publishable. (It was published in 1996.) If anything, it’s a little more dull, than the previous four books.There’s not much happening in this book. In the earlier ones, we’ve had “events” - cyclones, fires, droughts etc. This one, Laura gets excited about a new parlour set and sets the little town of Mansfield alight by becoming the first woman to join in a debate. A good night’s entertainment! And little Rose with her blinkers on, has her first encounter of seeing how “coloureds” and “whites” were separated. And I don’t mean by washing either.Rose is “growing up” and at the age of 11/12, has decided she’s in love with Paul, her friend for years. At that age, I didn’t know the meaning of love! But not to worry, Paul promptly breaks her heart, by asking another girl (you know, prettier, better dressed than plain little Rose) to “walk her home” after church on Sunday. (How innocent.) Rose behaves in the overly dramatic way that her mother before her did, and collapses on the floor. (We all remember what happened between Laura and Nellie when Almanzo first trotted into town.)I’m sorry, but Rose should have seen red flags, when Paul describes her as being like a sister to him. If any man describes you as being like a sister to him, or something along those lines, then he’ll never love you.But, from reading ahead on the blurbs, it does seem like Paul and Rose get together, so clearly I know nothing. But ... I have a feeling Paul is fictionalised, or a combination of a couple of different people. (Much like Nellie is meant to be a combination of a couple of different people in the original stories) Considering Rose marries (and divorced) Gillette (“the best a man can get”) Lane, in real life, I’m not sure where Paul comes into things. But she does become a telegrapher.I’m not overall sure what my feelings are about this book. It’s been quite a few sarcastic review, but there is just not much to say about a dull book. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily bad, but it’s just not on a par with the earlier ones. I hope this isn’t going to mean that the storyline is going to start going downhill.

Great book. Meant a lot to me growing up. Bought for my nieces. Bought a bunch so the reviews are going to repeat themselves
