About the event

Have you never read the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder and always wondered what the hype was about? Did you read the series as a child and wonder if these books hold up to an adult eye? Come join our Little House for adults book club!

Each month will be a different book from the series, with our last meeting being a discussion of the non fiction biography Prairie Fires by Caroline Fraser.

As this book club will be discussing sensitive topics and issues, no one under 18 will be allowed to attend.
