![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The book is narrated from the perspective of the young Ralph Moody, or as he comes to be called, “Little Britches.” Moody does a fantastic job of capturing the excitement of the rural west at that time, as well as many of the dangers and inherent difficulties of living there. Little Britches is the captivating story of a New England family that moves to Colorado in the beginning of the 20 th century to take up ranching. (We were also very glad to discover that Ralph Moody wrote 7 more books in his autobiographical series – but more on those in another post). I don’t remember how quickly we went through this book, but I do remember that we begged our mom to please read just one more chapter every single night. Over the years, we read a lot of books together, but this one was certainly one of everyone’s favorites. We first read Little Britches aloud as a family when my brother and I were somewhere between the ages of 10 and 12. MaOur family’s experience reading Little Britches ![]()
