Laura Ingalls Wilder grew up in the American Midwest during pioneer times. When she was 65, she began to write the story of her family's life on the Frontier. The result was an enchanting series of novels that soon attained classical status both as history and as narrative. Her first book, Little House in the Big Woods, introduces the reader to the Ingalls family -- Ma, Pa, Mary, Laura and baby Carrie -- as they struggle to eke out a living in the deep woods of Wisconsin. The children have never laid eyes on a store or even a town, but they know how to make cheese and butter, how to cure a skin and how to clean and load a rifle. Life is hard in the wilderness, but the Ingalls make do. But as other families begin to move in, Pa gets restless. The Ingalls abandon their log cabin and -- in Little House on the Prairie -- the journey west begins. This book, and the five that follow it, capture the irrepressible spirit of America's pioneers. Through her extraordinarily vivid memories, Wilder created an accurate account of life on the American Frontier, complete with all its inherent hardships and adventures. Telling her story through the inquisitive eyes of a child, Wilder imparted with exacting detail what was seen, heard and felt. From the time it was first published in 1932, Wilder's work has provided readers -- and old alike -- with a captivating, realistic look at days gone by.
