REVIEW OF THE KINDLE EDITION

So one of my main children’s literature reading projects this year will be to (hopefully) and finally reread and post detailed reviews for Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie series (as thus far, I have only managed to do this for the third novel, for Little House on the Prairie). But while my reviews for the individual series novels will of course be posted separately, I am in fact going to be reading each of the Little House novels from this here simp REVIEW OF THE KINDLE EDITION

So one of my main children’s literature reading projects this year will be to (hopefully) and finally reread and post detailed reviews for Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie series (as thus far, I have only managed to do this for the third novel, for Little House on the Prairie). But while my reviews for the individual series novels will of course be posted separately, I am in fact going to be reading each of the Little House novels from this here simply wonderful and totally reader-friendly Kindle edition, from The Complete Little House on the Prairie Collection.

Because it is in my humble much much easier and much less stressful reading nine novels in a single e-book omnibus (and yes, part of the reason why I have to date only managed to reread and review Little House on the Prairie and not any of the other series novels is precisely because it was always too much of a pain to keep lugging my hardcover editions of the Little House on the Prairie series around with me, something that is of course totally avoided with The Complete Little House on the Prairie Collection as everything is ready, waiting and easily portable as a Kindle edition, as an e-book).

Four stars for the general and very much reader-friendly set-up I have encountered in The Complete Little House on the Prairie Collection and with my only caveat being that while ALL of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s texts have been faithfully and completely presented, unfortunately none of Garth William’s accompanying illustrations are included (something that does not really bother me all that much, since I have always found Williams’ pictures for the Little House on the Prairie series more like visual trims than an essential part of my reading experience, but since I do realise that for many readers, Garth Williams’ illustrations are an essential part of their childhood reading experience with regard to Laura Ingalls Wilder’s memoirs, I do feel that I must issue a warning that this here e-book omnibus, that The Complete Little House on the Prairie Collection only features Laura Ingalls Wilder’s printed words and does not include Garth Williams’ artwork). ...more
