From Little Houses to Little Women: Revisiting a Literary Childhood

English

By (author): Nancy McCabe

A typical travel book takes readers along on a trip with the author, but a great travel book does much more than that, inviting readers along on a mental and spiritual journey as well. This distinction is what separates Nancy McCabes From Little Houses to Little Women from the typical and allows it to take its place not only as a great travel book but also as a memoir about the childrens books that have shaped all of our imaginations.

McCabe, who grew up in Kansas just a few hours from the Ingalls familys home in Little House on the Prairie, always felt a deep connection with Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the LittleHouse series. McCabe read Little House on the Prairie during her childhood and visited Wilder sites around the Midwest with her aunt when she was thirteen. But then she didnt read the series again until she decided to revisit in adulthood the books that had so influenced her childhood. It was this decision that ultimately sparked her desire to visit the places that inspired many of her childhood favorites, taking her on a journey that included stops in the Missouri of Laura Ingalls Wilder, the Minnesota of Maud Hart Lovelace, the Massachusetts of Louisa May Alcott, and even the Canada of Lucy Maud Montgomery.

From Little Houses to Little Womenreveals McCabes powerful connection to the characters and authors who inspired many generations of readers. Traveling with McCabe as she rediscovers the books that shaped her and ultimately helped her to forge her own path, readers will enjoy revisiting their own childhood favorites as well. See more
