A Little House of Their Own

The story of Caroline and Charles' courtship. A children's book, but still a read for those of us that have read the Little House books. I probably would have given it more stars if I'd been a child reading it, but as an adult I was probably expecting more than I ought to have expected. I also thought that the title made it sound as if more of the early days of their marriage would be the topic but it really was a case of 'The Events Leading Up to Getting A Little House of Their Own'

Nonetheless, it's a quick, pleasant read.

None of the other "Little House Years" books are as good as the ones about Laura but other then the Laura books I prefer the Martha and Charlotte books. I don't enjoy the Caroline books as much because they are a bit uneven for me with some in the series being really good and others lacking.

This is the Story about Laura’s Mother, Caroline Quinier, beginning to teach school for the first time. She deals with all the challenges of a new classroom while falling in love with Charles Ingalls, her neighbor. After refusing to travel across the county with him, he makes a farm for them on his parents’ property.
