When I google "books like _______" I get a bunch of drivel that isn't anything like what I want. Usually it's modern "sequels" or trashy hastily-written "period pieces" that are nothing like the source material. This is beyond frustrating! So, after reading A LOT of books, I decided to start making my OWN lists.
Here are some books I think are quite like the Little House series and that readers of Laura Ingles Wilder will love. To be added to this list, I have the following qualifications. 1) Written in or about the 1800 or early 1900s, with aspects of homesteading and prairie life. 2) Well written with as-life characters! 3) Similar in style or form to Little House.
These are books that I think a reader and lover of Laura Ingles' writing will adore just as much. I did-- and my brain classes them together. Links take you to Thrift-books--not sponsored. Enjoy!
