Coming of Age and Courtship Days for Laura and Almanzo. I haven't grown up. I'm still swooning over buggy rides, singing school, sleigh parties and an earnest young farmer winning the girl.
After reading about Laura growing up throughout the series, it was bittersweet seeing her leave childhood behind, but fun seeing her figure out her own feelings once she realizes that Almanzo is a serious beau and her feelings behind her shyness are strong enough that the pain of no longer being Pa's Little Half-Pint and moving away from home might be worth it.
Venturing back to yesteryear and pioneer family life on the prairie remains engaging listening as Cherry Jones' does fabulous at narrating the talented Laura Ingalls Wilder stories.
