About this listen

The sixth book in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s treasured Little House series, and the recipient of a Newbery Honor.

The town of De Smet in the Dakota Territory is hit with terrible blizzards in the hard winter of 1880-81, and the Ingalls family must ration their food and coal. When the supply train doesn’t arrive, all supplies are cut off from the outside. Soon there is almost no food left, so young Almanzo Wilder and a friend must make a dangerous trip in search of provisions.

The nine Little House books are inspired by Laura’s own childhood and have been cherished by generations of readers as both a unique glimpse into America’s frontier history and as heartwarming, unforgettable stories.

I found this one fascinating. Having never seen snow before, it was amazing to me to hear about surviving a long winter of blizzards (& all the complications & trials that go along with that), particularly in a pioneer setting. Another great Little House book. Cherry Jones’ narration is superb as always.

Very interesting
