I grew up on the Little House books and still like to go back and reread them occasionally, for their wisdom, their entertainment value and for their glimpses of a long gone lifestyle. I picked up a couple of them in audiobook form and decided to listen to one the other day. Over all, the books hold up well in audio format. Some events take on a different color or emphasis when you listen to them, as opposed to reading the words on a page. Almanzo and Cap's journey to find the wheat was especially exciting from that standpoint. These would be wonderful family listening while on a road trip or at bedtime. My only objection was with the reader. She's okay when she's just reading the book, but when she tries to "sing" (and there is a surprising amount of music in the Little House books), especially when she's singing as "Pa", it's almost unbearable. She has perhaps the most unmelodic voice I've ever heard. I found myself turning down the volume until the song was over. Otherwise, I highly recommend the audio version of these books.Product details

The Long Winter Little House Book 6 (Audible Audio Edition) Laura Ingalls Wilder Cherry Jones HarperAudio Books Reviews
I loved reading this book when I was a child. Learning about the hardships the pioneers faced made a deep impression on me. Recently, I purchased the audio CD narrated by Cherry Jones. I thought the audio rendition was excellent. It really brought the story to life.
I read this many years ago, but wanted to read it again. Still a great story! Problem was, I almost felt like I was living it. Not a good feeling since we just got out of a snowy long winter!
As I read of the end of the Ingall's harsh winter, I felt joy for them, that all had survived. Then I felt envious too, as for us here in the now winter has set in and is showing signs that it is going to be a harsh one. Yet I am comforted knowing we to will survive. I plan to recreate their Christmas in May menu for my family when the Chinook once again returns.
My daughter said the story was mostly "filler" without much plot. I thought it was good to show how fortunate we are with what we have especially in the winter. We read this in our first real winter experience too so that was really neat. Maybe would have been better for a younger child, mine was in 8th grade at the time.
My favorite of the Little House series. I think I've read this over 100 times! The darkest and grimmest of the series, but arresting. You get a great feel for what pioneer life was really like -- not fun, to say the least.
This books storyline had me hooked from beginning to end and I devoured it. I loved the fact that I was reading a factual story written by Laura Ingalls Wilder herself telling how her and her family went through a long and very hard winter that occurs like once every 21 years. Blizzard after blizzard hits that last 3-4 days at a time and the pattern goes on for months. The snow is so deep its higher than the door openings. The house is freezing cold except for around the fireplace that's heated with the only provision available, straw that Pa and Laura twist into "logs" to put in the fireplace. Their food supply slowly dwindles and the family is forced to ration what they have left in order to survive because the train bringing food and provisions is buried on the tracks the next town over and even though Pa and other townfolk hike down the tracks to try and shovel it free, they come close but have to quite and hurry home because another blizzard hits and buries the train again. This book is a fabulous read for people of all ages. I highly recommend it to everyone!
I am delighted that the Little House series is finally on . I received my first set of these books as a Christmas gift when I was 9. I have read through them so many times that they're honestly in tatters.
It's great that Garth Williams' amazing illustrations are included as well.
It's wonderful to have them in a digital format so they can go everywhere with me.
