Laura Ingalls Wilder

Manisha just started reading "Farmer Boy" to Supriya, and Supriya is completely lost! Manisha read her the first two books ("Little House in the Big Woods" and "Little House on the Prairie") recently, and Supriya really enjoyed them. "Farmer Boy" runs on a separate track which joins up with the original track later when the protagonist marries Laura. But for now Supriya cannot make that connection. Manisha tells me the descriptions about the school for the boys are pretty bad, caning and all. Manisha does not want to read it any further, but Supriya is insistent that she do, now that she has started it.
