All about By the Shores of Silver Lake Audiobook Free
By the Shores of Silver Lake Audiobook is an autobiographical children’s audiobook written by Laura Ingalls Wilder and published in 1939, the fifth of nine audiobooks in her Little House Audiobook series.
It spans just over one year, beginning when she is 12 years old and her family moves from Plum Creek, Minnesota to what will become De Smet, South Dakota.
Though Wilder began writing the books as autobiographical recollections, they are considered historical fiction.
Audiobook Review
Another enjoyable read. Laura is growing up and while the story is still kid friendly there are some more serious things that happened that made it less lighthearted than the previous book.
These audiobooks are a fantastic picture of the 1800s on the prairie they are more fun than my Antonia, which is a wonderful book and Owl on every post is also worth listening too.
The narration could not be better. Chery Jones nails it. By the Shores of Silver Lake Audiobook Free is exciting, charming and all the other adjectives I can’t think of. Some of it is fiction but don’t let that stop you.
Plot Summary
The Ingalls family has seen both joy and hardship since the end of On the Banks of Plum Creek. Mary has been left blind from a battle with scarlet fever, and a new sister, Grace, has been born. Pa decides to move to a railroad camp in the unsettled Dakota Territory to work as a bookkeeper to earn money. Eventually, Laura, her sisters, and Ma travel by train to join Pa at the spot he’s claimed for their new home. They spend a long winter in the surveyor’s house, and in the spring, Pa begins to build a store. It’s the first building in what will become the town of De Smet. Finally, the Ingalls family’s travels by covered wagon are over.
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.
