shadowkatThis is Day 19 of 30 Day Book Challenge.
The prompt is A book based on a true story
Pretty much all of the non-fiction books out there? No, I think this is a fictionalized account of something that actually happened.
I'm picking a series...
Little House on the Prarie by Laura Ingalls Wilder
Laura Ingalls and her family are heading to Kansas! Leaving behind their home in the Big Woods of Wisconsin, they travel by covered wagon until they find the perfect spot to build a little house on the prairie. Laura and her sister Mary love exploring the rolling hills around their new home, but the family must soon get to work, farming and hunting and gathering food for themselves and for their livestock. Just when the Ingalls family starts to settle into their new home, they find themselves caught in the middle of a conflict. Will they have to move again?
The nine books in the timeless Little House series tell the story of Laura’s real childhood as an American pioneer, and are cherished by readers of all generations. They offer a unique glimpse into life on the American frontier, and tell the heartwarming, unforgettable story of a loving family.
Here's the opening and closing credits of the 1974-1983 television series that I watched as a child as it aired and in reruns. My best friend who could stay up later than I could, used to tell me what happened in it on the way to school. She'd tell me the whole story. Actually her renditions of the television show were better than the show itself.
We had both read all the books - traded them back forth between us. And they were read to us by our parents. The series, along with Nancy Drew mysteries were very popular when I was growing up in the 1970s.
