An audio of a radio show that dramatizes The Long Winter. It’s old-fashioned and lovely. I just finished listening to it.
Here’s what Homeschool Radio Shows has to say about it:
By popular demand, we again present this fine interpretation of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “Little House” book, “The Long Winter”. This Ingalls family is quite different than the one you saw on TV, but it is a very faithful adaptation of the book, and is quite entertaining. It is the ONLY “old time radio” adaptation of any of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books, and you love those stories, you’ll treasure this. This broadcast was originally aired way back in 1950 on the radio version of the Hallmark Playhouse.
Download it now. It’s only available for the week.
Just beautiful.
