Rating:
Summary: Has Photos of the Real Laura Ingalls Wilder and Her Family!
Review: I have been a fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder for along time, I first became a fan through the TV show which first came on TV when I was about 8 or 9 years old and then I received a boxset for Christmas of The Little House on The Prairie book by the real Laura Ingalls Wilder and I found them facinating and a few years ago I came across this book and it was very nice to the momentos, etc, and to see what the real Laura looked like and also what the real, Caroline (Ma), Charles (Pa), Mary and Carrie, etc looked like and this book was interesting and I recommend it to fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her books!

Rating:
Summary: Excellent photographs
Review: I realize of course there was text, written superbly by William Anderson. The treat here, though, is the color photographs of artifacts from the museums. For anyone disappointed in the poorly reproduced b&w photos from West from Home and On the Way Home, you are in for a treat.

But as a Laura-junkie, I'd shave a 1/2 a star off as I wanted more, more, more!

Summary: Attractive layout full of interesting photos, info
Review: LAURA'S ALBUM includes photos of people, places, important items (such as Pa's fiddle), and many other interesting items (postcards, hand-written treasures, newspaper clipping, even a sample of Laura's needlework).

In addition to showing many of Laura's memories in photo-form, this book also give a basic history of her life by decade. It's a great supplement to her LITTLE HOUSE books, and is comprehensive enough to give a lot of extra information to those who are interested in Laura's "real life."
