I have an "exclusive" interview with the sweet and beautiful Laura Ingalls!

Q: Were you sad about leaving your home, relatives and friends?
A: Yes, I was a little sad. But I was also looking forward to having an adventure!

Q: Were you and Mary bored while you were in the back of the wagon?
A: We were fairly bored but we were very excited about going into Indian Country!

Q: Were you scared when you couldn't find Jack?
A: I was extremely worried, I love Jack very much.

Q: Did you enjoy camping?
A: I loved camping, it was so different.

Q: How long did it take to build your house?
A: I can't remember exactly, but it took a very long time. I'm glad Mr. Edwards helped us!

Q: Did you prefer helping Pa build the house or looking after Baby Carrie?
A: Helping Pa, I love helping Pa. For me, looking after Baby Carrie is so dull and boring.

Q: How did you feel when your house was finally finished?
A: I was very excited. I had waited so long for it to be finished!

Q: What did you think of the foal, Bunny?
A: I thought she was beautiful! I desperately wanted to pat her but Pa said I couldn't.

Q: What were your thoughts when the wolves were chasing Pa?
A: I was very worried. All I could do is pray.

Q: What was going through your mind when the Indians were in your house?
A: A lot of thinks. I didn't want Ma to give the Indians the items. I didn't want them to hurt us. I wish Pa had been there. I was so frightened.

Q: What did you think of the deserted Indian camp?
A: I thought it was fantastic! Mary and I found so many beautiful beads!

Q: Why did you give your beads to Carrie?
A: I wanted to keep those pretty beads but I couldn't let Mary be better than me.

Q: How did you feel when you were ill?
A: I felt appalling. I am very grateful that Mrs. Scott and Dr. Tan looked after me and my family.

Q: What made you pull back the rocking chair when the chimney was on fire?
A: I wanted Mary and Carrie to be safe because I love them very much. Afterwards I was very proud because I was such a brave little girl.

Q: Who was the tall Indian?
A: The tall Indian was an Indian man who came into our house and ate our food. He didn't say anything but Pa said he spoke a bit of French!

Q: How was your Christmas?
A: Excellent! It was the best Christmas ever. I'm so glad that Mr. Edwards was able to bring Santa Claus's presents to us, because the creek was flooding and only Mr. Edwards could get across it!

Q: Were you sad about the fire on the prairie?
A: Yes, I was sad and frightened but I didn't have much time to think because we were in such a hurry. The fire had not missed us by far!

Q: Did the Indian war-cries scare you?
A: I was terrified; I wanted Pa to be all right (he had gone out to Independence), and I wouldn't go to sleep until he came home. I'm so thankful he was okay!

Q: Why did you want the Indian baby?
A: Oh, Erin, I really wanted that baby the way it looked at me with its beady black eyes, I just wanted it to stay with me but we already have baby Carrie.

Q: Were you sad about leaving the little house?
A: I was very sad, leaving our neighbors who were so kind to us, our crops and most of all, the little house. I had even helped build it! I am so angry that the government made us leave!

Q: Are you looking forward to another adventure?
A: Yes, I'm always looking for adventures. I wonder where we will go this time?

Q: It was pleasant talking to you, Laura.
A: Same to you!
