Description
This is for the legions of Laura Ingalls Wilder fans who have dreamed of what a pioneer life out on the prairie would be like. Combining step-by-step how-to on crafts ranging from sewing a quilt to candle-making to making bread-and-butter pickles, with tongue-in-cheek instructions on prairie slang, winning a spelling bee, and singing a lullaby, "The Prairie Girl's Guide to Life" allows fans to finally act out their childhood dreams or to simply enjoy the vicarious thrill of reading about it one more time. This is a book that will pull at the heart strings of every childhood Laura and also teach us a few prairie-time crafts along the way.
