It’s often said that you should write about what you know. I’m not sure why it took him until the second half of his life to discover that he was a writer, but maybe it was because he was too busy living it to really capture it on the page until then. In the case of the Little Britches series, families have the opportunity to grow up with Ralph and spend hours upon hours sharing in his remarkable story. Finally, autobiographies that span a series of books are rare – and when done well – very special. Autobiographies written such that they can be shared with the entire family are even more unique because that which makes a life interesting does not always make it family-friendly.
And, in my opinion, they often fail to merit much true attention. It is a fair comparison, but it is so much more than that as well.Īutobiographies are a very unique genre of books. Many have called it Little House on the Prairie for boys. The book went on to serve as the first of an eight book series chronicling Ralph’s childhood, certain moments of his adolescence, and his young adulthood. In 1950, Ralph Moody enrolled in a writing class at a local community college and was inspired to write his first book, Little Britches: Father and I Were Ranchers.
