Little House in the Highlands

Binding was broken....GR8 Scotland stories! I’ll get it fixed

Excellent condition just as described my daughter loved the book for her report, easy read

My daughter has already read the Laure Ingle Wilder series and loved them so much she wanted to read more from the series. I encourage it not because it is good to read (though it is), but also because I love the fact that I don't have to worry about inappropriate material in these books. They were shipped fast and well packaged. It was a winner all around.

I love all the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, it helps me to understand how her life was and how much changed in just her lifetime. It is faszinating and amazing to see what these old pioneers did. Great books to read, also for adults.

i added it to my collection

I love all of the Little House books. It is so fun to read about the other generations of pioneer women.

My daughters loved The Little House series and this continued the same themes. They even got a taste for different historical time periods.

Book was in good condition and a great read.

Very much in the spirit of the original 'Little House' books, my only reason for leaving out a fifth star are that I wish it might have been a little longer

This was a lovely book. Bought it for my mom who loves all the Little House series. Nice to learn about Laura's great grandmother.

Le livre correspond à la description. Livraison rapide. Je suis très satisfaite de cette commande, d'autant plus que ce genre de livre n'est pas facile à trouver..

It seems strange that all the earlier Laura books, plus the spin offs of Caroline and Rose, all stick around a similar number of books. Then you have this series (Laura’s great grandmother) and the Charlotte series (Laura’s grandmother), which seem truncated at 4 books each. I’m a bit disappointed in that aspect, as I have been eagerly getting the spin offs and these (apart from the first book in each series) have been some of the hardest to source/purchase (due to cost.)This is the first book in the Martha series, which is set in Scotland. It’s very much in the same vein as the Caroline and Rose first books - very simplistic and aimed at the younger audience, much like the early Laura books were. Of course, how much of this is accurate, we can’t possibly know. Martha was the youngest daughter of a Scottish laird, so you’d think there’d be something out there, but I suppose most of it is just a general imagining what life would have been like for a young Scottish girl in the late 1700s.There’s a lot of talk about traditions and superstitions (some of which I did not know, and I’m Scottish!) and seems to be about a year in Martha’s life, from about 6-7. She has a very easy life, seen through the rose tinted spectacles in a way only a child can view it. Her main hardships are the loss of her doll (Lady Flora) and being the youngest child and not growing.I think the remaining three books will be a little older, but still easy to read, if they stick to a similar thread as the Caroline/Rose books. I’m still annoyed that there are only four in each series, but I think the author has done a good job of sticking to the tried and true formula and the feel of Laura’s books. It’s a little over 130 pages, so won’t take long to read and can be read to children. There are a lot of themes that young children will relate to and adults alike will enjoy reminiscing as it invokes the memories of reading Laura.You may have to hunt around to complete your set, if you want to read the remaining books in the series.
