Little House in the Big Woods
Book 1 of the Little House series
224 pages · First published 1932
Young Laura Ingalls lives with Ma, Pa, Mary, and baby Carrie in a log house in the Wisconsin woods. Hunting, preserving food, maple sugaring, music, visiting relatives, and seasonal celebrations structure a childhood closely tied to the work required for family survival. Danger exists in the surrounding wilderness, but the book’s emphasis is on domestic security, storytelling, and the rhythms of a self-sufficient household. The first Little House novel introduces Laura’s family through remembered episodes that combine pioneer detail with the warmth and limitations of a child’s perspective.
