Publisher's Description of These Happy Golden Years
The eighth book in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s treasured Little House series. This edition features the classic black-and-white artwork from Garth Williams.
Laura is teaching school, and it's terrifying! Most of the students are taller than she is, and she must sleep away from home for the first time. Laura is miserable, but the money is needed to keep Mary in a college for the blind.
And every Friday—no matter what the weather—Almanzo Wilder arrives to take Laura home to her family for the weekend. Laura and Almanzo are courting, and even though she's not yet sixteen, she knows that this is a time for new beginnings.
The nine books in the timeless Little House series tell the story of Laura’s real childhood as an American pioneer, and are cherished by readers of all generations. They offer a unique glimpse into life on the American frontier, and tell the heartwarming, unforgettable story of a loving family.

Category Description for These Happy Golden Years
Laura is growing up quickly. This book follows her through her first teaching job, which is a hard time for Laura. It is twelve miles from home, and she must board with a family who does not welcome her. To her surprise, Almonzo comes faithfully every weekend to take her home, and then he brings her back in time for the next week of school. When the term is over, Laura is glad to be home, and Almonzo still comes calling, although Laura seems to be unaffected by his persistence. Eventually, Laura realizes how much she looks forward to her Sunday afternoons with Almonzo. It's a fast-paced time of life for Laura, who also finishes her own schooling as well as working two other terms as a teacher and working at other jobs.
