The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder: Snow Has Never Been This Colorful!

Date of Review:  May 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: Seven months of almost continuous blizzards will put into perspective one or two bad snowstorms a winter. Read this curled up in front of a warm fire!
Review: When I was about my daughter s age, nine, a friend of the family gave me my first Little House book. I was immediately captivated by the stories within and read them over and over through the years. The copy I had contained wonderful illustrations...

Winters Now Are Nothing Compared to Laura's Long Winter

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 2000
Review: I have been a huge fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder's books since about third grade. I've read the nine books about Laura's life so many times I can answer all the questions in the "Little House Trivia Book" with hardly a moment's hesitation.

The Bottom Line: wonderful story of hardship and survival. Beautifully written.
Review: The Long Winter is the story of a family in Desmet South Dakota during the 1880-1881 winter of blizzard after blizzard that nearly forced an entire town into starvation.

The Long WinterDidn't Leave Me Cold

Date of Review:  Nov 11, 2000
Review: It has been unusually warm here in Minnesota this fall, and I have been grateful for that. I have been reading the Little House series in order, and I knew that reading The Long Winter was going to be out of the question until spring if there was...

Are You Ready for the Longest Winter Ever?

Date of Review:  Sep 28, 2002
The Bottom Line: The Long Winter will give you a greater appreciation of faith, determination and the intense love of a family going through a horribly long winter.
Review: Ever since I was eleven years old, I fell in love with a series of books authored by Laura Ingalls Wilder known as the "Little House" series. This series of books tells the life of Laura Ingalls, who lived in various places throughout her young life...

The Long Winter - Be Thankful for What You Have

Date of Review:  May 10, 2009
The Bottom Line: The Long Winter is the best book in the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder
Review: Often when I read historical fiction I can't help but dream about going back in time and experiencing the events described in the book. That is most certainly not the case with Laura Ingalls Wilder's The Long Winter.

The Story

"In Which 'The Wilder Boys' Reappear, and Dakota Territory Becomes Hell-Frozen-Over"

Date of Review:  May 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: Try reading this during a July/August heatwave. (See review)
Review: Before "Survivor," "1900 House," and the current PBS "Frontier House," there was THE LONG WINTER; before that, the actual long winter of 1880-81 on the Dakota Territory--6 months long. (Yes, thankfully: 6 months, not 7, to go along with the Indian's...

Review: The Long Winter is the sixth in the series and the first where Laura Ingalls meets Almanzo Wilder. The winter is harsh and Almanzo risks his life to try to save the people of the town. The snow covers to the rooftops!!

It Makes Me Hungry!

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2000
Review: Every time I read "The Long Winter" I get so hungry that I am compelled to go into the kitchen and make myself a snack. Laura Ingalls Wilder was very good at describing frontier food, so good that I once checked "The Little House Cookbook" out of...
