Book Review: Farmer Boy, by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Laura Ingalls Wilder based all her fiction on her own experiences of frontier life in 19th century America, with the exception of Farmer Boy, which describes her husband's growing up on a farm in New York State. Despite the fact that Farmer Boy is put together from Almanzo's memories, the novel is vividly realised and carries the same personal and intimate tone as Laura's other novels.
