LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE

 

A beloved youth classic and also a popular television series,

"Little House on the Prairie" has touched the hearts of millions. It is the story of the Ingalls family, specifically Laura, and their homesteading and farming days in the undeveloped territory of the Midwest. She writes of her experiences and adventures

as a young girl living on the American prairie frontier.

My hand-painted cachet shows Laura's mother Caroline holding her young daughter in the family wheat field. A short distance away, Laura's father Charles (played by Michael Landon on the television show) labors with his crop of wheat. In the distance, the modest home is depicted--hub of the Ingalls' life and the "little house" that Laura loved so much.

This COLLINS Cover joins the previously offered "Huckleberry Finn" (still available at $10.75) in my Youth Classic set of four with the remaining two to be offered soon. The stamps in this set are very attractive, and the subject matter makes it a worthwhile addition to any First Day Cover collection. Don't miss this fine COLLINS as the toddler Laura is cradled in her mother's arms in the midst of a thriving wheat field as she embarks on her life in the "Little House on the Prairie". Item #F2203. $10.75.
