Why read it?
1 author picked On the Banks of Plum Creek as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I still smile when I think of all the Little House on the Prairie books, though this was my favorite. The dramas may be small, but they feel real, and the wealth of small, skillfully woven details brings the characters and their world to life so that we can still relate to them, no matter how different our present-day world may be.
From Wendy's list on to bring history to life.
