These Happy Golden Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder

These Happy Golden Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder - 289 pages

This entry in the Little House books really focuses on Laura and Almanzo's courtship.  I decided to continue listening to the series on audio and chose this as my next book.  It has always been my favorite book in the series and that remains true in the audio version.
