Though they both live in the United States now, Brits Katy Bowman and Eddie Higgins grew up reading the Little House books in England, where the meaning of Laura Ingalls Wilder's words wasn't always straightforward. Join us as the two Brits trade stories about what might have gotten lost in translation. Voracious, indeed!
Blizzards and tornadoes and grasshopper weather ... the Little House® books are full of weather events. They're also based on real life, so did this weather really happen? Meteorologist and climatologist Barb Boustead talks about her just-published book, Wilder Weather, which connects the weather mentioned in the Little House® series with actual, historical weather events.
Anyone who's done any research beyond simply reading the Little House books knows the name William Anderson. But how did the preeminent biographer of Laura Ingalls Wilder get his start? Here it is, William Anderson's Little House origin story, in his own words.

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
