How many of these books I read as a youth (in my bookmobile days) I do not know, but reading them as an adult was a delightful rest! This set was given to us by Gypsi who had enjoyed them via books on tape. Farmer Boy was my favorite and it was the farming techniques and the food-on-the-table descriptions that made it first place. The illustrations by Garth Williams were excellent and perfect! Of course, the big question is: "How did one go to the outhouse in The Long Winter?" And the romance between Laura and Almanzo was almost "Jane Austenish." Is there a cook book with all those recipes? And the answer is YES and the illustrations are by Garth Williams.
