Rose Wilder Lane- Laura Ingalls Wilder’s daughter- and Helen Dore Boyleston- author of the Sue Barton – were friends and traveled by car from Paris to Albania during the 1920’s. This book is basically excerpts from their diaries and provides some wonderful insight into their lives and is great just because it is surprising in the way that people you never imagined were connected are.

I admit to a bias. Helen Dore Boylston was a cousin of my grandfather’s and I’ve been feeling terribly cheated since I read this book because I never met her. The story is remarkable. Two young women decide to drive from Albania to Paris. Their adventures are not, perhaps, quite as colorful as one might hope, but their daring and imagination in deciding upon such an voyage make your realize that Laura Ingalls Wilder really raised one heck of a brave and free daughter. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s read the Little House Books or any of Helen Dore Boylston’s books about Sue Barton.
