Thanks for the heads up - it will just be starting here now.
Of course, I loved the Little House books.... and the TV series.
I always thought the Little House books were a disguised morality play - for instance, be an obnoxiously perfect person and go blind, be obnoxiously self-righteous and have small children chant nasty rhymes at you, be lazy and freeze to death in a blizzard... all they need is a reference to 'Matilda, Who Told Lies and Was Burned to Death" and they're complete.
