julie10reads: Nevil Shute is a storyteller of the highest order, masterfully creating tales of countries, times and people that find a place in the reader's heart!

ahef1963: My favourite of the Little House books.

Diane-bpcb: This was my favorite of the Little House books, which I just loved. My sister and I would play covered wagon, using our twin beds as our wagons, etc. Little did we know, in those days, that ancestors had gone West in a wagon train.
