The Wilder life my adventures in the lost world of Little house on the prairie

Wendy McClure loves Little House on the Prairie. And I mean loves. And don't misunderstand me. It's not Little House on the Prairie the tv series. She loves Little House on the Prairie the book series.

Apparently she is not alone. There is a whole world out there of people who delight in all things Little House. So McClure sets off on a quest to experience the full Wilder Life, visiting homesites of Little House major and minor characters, cooking food from the Little House books, even attempting to churn butter.

Along the way, McClure examines why Little House is so important to her. Her thoughts about the whys and experiences in the hows make for a very good story.

THis was a fun read. I found myself laughing out loud quite often. I was actually expecting the book to be about the author “living” the life of Laura Ingalls for a year, but it turned out to be her just going around and visiting different sites connected with the books. Still worth the read!
