A review by caysie
The First Four Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder

3.0

I had never read this one before. I can see why some people don't like it (different tone, published after Rose's death w/out Laura's permission, it's pretty depressing, etc) but still, I think it's an important and more realistic look at her life. There were some strange moments (WTF Mr Boast!) and even a sort of reference to sex which caught me off guard. I'm glad I read it, but if you want to only read the romanticized Little House books, then skip this one.
