This was an excellent collection of writings by Laura Ingalls Wilder and her daughter, Rose Wilder. William Anderson does a phenomenal job giving historical backgrounds, contexts, and explanations about each article, story, letter, etc. I learned a lot of things I didn't know, and this was the first time I got to read large amounts of Rose's writing. This fascinating book is highly recommended to Little House fans who want to know more. (

First words

Preface: Laura Ingalls Wilder's prairie girlhood was enriched by the beauty and the drama of artful storytelling.

Prologue: "She had the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen," remarked one of Laura Ingalls's classmates, remembering the small, quiet girl who had diligently studied in the one-room schoolhouse in DeSmet, Dakota Territory, during the early 1880s.
