By the Shores of Silver Lake

Classic tales by Laura Ingalls Wilder about life on the frontier and America’s best-loved pioneer family.

It is time for Laura Ingalls and her family to leave Plum Creek after two poor harvests and an outbreak of scarlet fever, which has left her sister Mary blind.  Pa Ingalls finds a job on a new railroad and the family head out West to Silver Lake.

Settling in to Silver Lake, Pa finds the perfect place to build a house and it seems as though the Ingalls’ travelling days may be over.

The timeless stories that inspired a TV series can now be read by a new generation of children. Readers who loved Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, and Heidi will be swept up by this timeless rural coming of age saga. Perfect escapism for readers aged 8+. Beautifully illustrated by Garth Williams.
