Prairie Man My Little House Life & Beyond by Dean Butler

 Even though I am Australian, I read Laura Ingalls Wilder’s famous books many times when I was a child. I still have my old copy of These Happy Golden Years! I didn’t like the series as much because it was different from the books - a controversy that Dean Butler explains. However, I was still a big fan, although a bit upset when I went to a concert of a famous singer and she was late because she wanted to watch the end of one of the episodes! 

Any fan of the series will enjoy this book. Named after James Dean, Dean Butler was destined to become an actor. Here he relates not only how Little House changed his life and some of the secrets from his time in the show but tales about his pioneering family, the trials and tribulations of his life and career and how he decided to continue making his involvement in the show part of his success story. I also liked his descriptions of his romances and how he met his wife.

This book made me want to read all the other Little House autobiographies!

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.

Despite being Australian, we all learned to love other books throughout high school back in the day :) Apart from Laura Ingalls Wilder, I also loved Jane Austen, the Brontes and Anthony Trollope and others. But visiting the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home & Museum was even better. Thankfully they saved and cared for the collection of historic buildings and other elements of life then.
