I Took the Plunge
I'm probably the last person in the 4Real Community who hasn't bought Melissa Wiley's Little House books (Charlotte and Martha years). Since I had a son who couldn't read yet, I thought I would wait and use my money in other ways. But I was getting nervous, because the books were being abridged, some were out of print, and when searching in my used book spots I could never find a copy. And the 4Real Learning boards made it worse, because some people were searching for so long for certain titles.
So when I caught her recent post about Two More Places to buy her unabridged versions, I took the plunge and bought them all.
I now can breathe more easily...my quest is over. They aren't hardback, sigh...but at least I'll have a complete collection.
Now I hope this baby is a girl for all those girl books I've been collecting...and I hope dh understands. ;-)

Excellent! So glad to know that the info was useful to someone. :) I haven't read all of them yet, but we completed our set last year (one of the Caroline books was hard to find but we found it on a trip to Pepin).

Yes, thank you, Alicia, for passing on that information.
I'm going to wait for the Caroline books....I hope I don't regret it.

I haven't read any of the Caroline books yet, so I'm not of much help. Since they take place right near us (just a few towns over), I thought I probably should get them.

Jenn,
I was like you ... I just had to have them. Only I have an 11 year old dd who is scarfing them down as quickly as she can! She has completely Little House, and is now reading Martha followed by Charlotte. I recently purchased the Caroline and the Rose years. You will be glad that you have them (don't we all love collecting books)!

Wonderful, Jenn!
My claim to fame is on the front pages of the unabridged "Beyond the Heather Hills"! Don't miss it!
