I hope my daughter show's an interest, she's had a look already at The House in The Big Woods. Our local library, in town does have a few of the box set which I didn't think they would have here (Lancashire-UK) but you never see any in the shops! The TV series is still showing here, which is good, but my daughter doesn't often watch it, she doesn't seem to enjoy it like I did, just hope she starts reading the books.
It would be interesting to find out if her teacher has even head of LIW!

Hello Everyone,

The chances of Laura staying "alive" are very good, I feel. Who could allow such a lady who lived such a life to be forgotten? As for our local library, wonders will never cease but they have actually them all - which is pretty damn good for a library in Perth, Australia!

I am going to try like anything to bring my children (girl AND boy) up on a diet of LIW books! I actually have already read some of the chapters of LHITBW aloud to them and they are incredibly keen, which is a good sign. My son is reading now, although the print in my set of Laura books is still too small for him, but in time, he will be reading them by himself. We all need to do our best to pass on our love of Laura to our children so that she will indeed live on.

The show is not aired over here anymore on the free to air stations, (not seen it in a long time, so we can't depend on that over here) although it may be on pay TV - we don't get that though as we don't watch much TV anyway.
