A typical travel book takes readers along on a trip with the
author, but a great travel book does much more than that, inviting
readers along on a mental and spiritual journey as well. This
distinction is what separates Nancy McCabe's "From Little Houses to
Little Women" from the typical and allows it to take its place not
only as a great travel book but also as a memoir about the
children's books that have shaped all of our imaginations.
McCabe, who grew up in Kansas just a few hours from the Ingalls
family's home in "Little House on the Prairie," always felt a deep
connection with Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the LittleHouse
series. McCabe read "Little House on the Prairie" during her
childhood and visited Wilder sites around the Midwest with her aunt
when she was thirteen. But then she didn't read the series again
until she decided to revisit in adulthood the books that had so
influenced her childhood. It was this decision that ultimately
sparked her desire to visit the places that inspired many of her
childhood favorites, taking her on a journey that included stops in
the Missouri of Laura Ingalls Wilder, the Minnesota of Maud Hart
Lovelace, the Massachusetts of Louisa May Alcott, and even the
Canada of Lucy Maud Montgomery.
"From Little Houses to Little Women "reveals McCabe's powerful
connection to the characters and authors who inspired many
generations of readers. Traveling with McCabe as she rediscovers
the books that shaped her and ultimately helped her to forge her
own path, readers will enjoy revisiting their own childhood
favorites as well.
