Laura Ingalls Wilder's sequence of autobiographical memoirs (I am reluctant to describe them as "novels", despite being aware of the occasional fictional liberties Laura took in telling her stories) are among the greatest books of the Twentieth century, precisely because she captures the period, location, life and people so vividly.From the early pages of "The Little House in the Big Woods", food (its gathering and cooking) is an everyday focus: readers who find the "Little House on the Prairie Cookbook" can happily explore the down-to-earth home-cooked recipes of Laura and her family.Equally, from those early pages, Pa with his fiddle, and the family singing folksongs and hymns and other popular ditties, is another everyday focus.Anyone who reads the Ingalls Wilder books to another person -- adult or child (and this is one of life's great pleasure, to SHARE the "Little House" books) -- ought to be able to hum or whistle or sing what the book can only name or quote with unmusical words.Hooray for the "Song Book" that provides the music, and words, and a snippet of explanatory background for each item.Some great books are enhanced by scholarly Prefaces, or Notes, or, better yet, by richly informative annotations on details that bring the book all the more deeply to life.The "Little House on the Prairie" COOKBOOK and SONGBOOK go beyond simple scholarly annotation (valuable though that would be!), yet they serve a very similar purpose.There are, I believe, audio CDs of some of the "Little House on the Prairie" music. Good as these CDs may be, they present only one way of conceiving the music, and at best they let you sing along.Having the printed music allows readers to personally recreate a key component of the "Little House" experience.
