I think I underestimated how cool it is that Little House books are a "woman remembers her childhood" children's classic by an author from a working-class and rural background. Most working-class books of the genre have urban settings, and most rural girlhood classics come from a family that's in a fairly stable community--maybe not rich, but comfortable enough that they don't have to worry about whether they'll make it through a winter.

Laura Ingalls grew up dirt poor in a family that knew how to grow or build or hunt or make everything that they needed, because they had to. Yet when she grew up, she got into a position where she could publish about it. Which is pretty astounding, because people in her situation are usually too busy doing the farmwork to write about it--they don't have connections to the publishing industry. Yet she did, so we get to hear from someone who knows that farm and small-town setting intimately, and not because she grew up and and ran off to the city as soon as she could escape, but because she still lives it and loves it and advocates for it.

She knows the details of that life and loves it. Like, she genuinely cares about raising the chickens, not as a housewife's hobby, but as an important source of meat, eggs and money for the family. It's grounded, earthy, sensible, but also romantic, because she while she's doing farm work or house work she's noticing the little moments of beauty or thinking about the big issues of life. But it took a long series of coincidences to get this ordinary farm wife into a position of wanting to write, being able to write, and having a national audience for her writing, so I just want to appreciate how amazing it is that it happened.

#little house #laura ingalls wilder #of course now that i've said this i'll think of 157 other authors with similar backgrounds #but it's something that comes to mind a lot while reading her columns #especially in the '20s it's like reading her blog #specifically my blog #in the sense of the entries being 'here's an interesting thing i saw/heard about and here's the bigger issues it made me contemplate' #and her background means that she shouldn't have had an outlet for this but she did and that's pretty cool

If there's one thing the Little House books have taught me, it's that anyone's life can become legendary if you write it down. This random farm girl has at least seven museums devoted to her family and a branch of literary scholarship devoted to studying her family history just because she decided to turn her memories into children's stories. Like, yeah, her childhood had a lot more crazy disasters than most people's, but that doesn't change the fact this was a family of ordinary people whose life events became legendary just because someone told the stories well.

#this is what happens when you read half of 'these happy golden years' #and then watch the wingfeather saga trailer #that talks about how legends are just day-to-day life when people are living them and they only become legendary when you're looking back #the parallels i see them #little house #laura ingalls wilder
