Eugene O'Neill - Laura Ingalls Wilder

Laura Ingles Wilder : Robert Louis Stevenson
When I was in the third and fourth grades (1948-50) our teachers (Mrs Gray and Miss Cormana) took the first fifteen minutes after lunch to read to our class. In the third grade we started the 'Little House' books and wrote a letter to Mrs. Wilder and received a reply from her, not from a publicity agent.
