Of Little House and Little Women

while reading The Glass Castle, the author mentioned reading laura ingalls wilder (little house series) at the age of 11 or 12.

i was reminded of my own reading experience when i was young, as a non native english speaking student.

i read the entire 'little house' and 'little women' series in pri skool too. and tat was becoz i stumbled across the two series by chance in the children section of the bedok library.

the 2 series were totally captivating but i struggled thru them as the english was too hard for mi den. i had to doggedly finish each book and continue wif the sequels.

to tis day, i still feel tat placing these books in the children's section is a bad joke tat someone muz haf played though i now realise tat these are really considered 'juvenile literature' and the authors are considered children's authors.
