popularity in the 1970s and 80s thanks

to the Emmy-winning TV series that

continues to enjoy a devoted fan follow-

Bonnetheads. Laura Ingalls Wilder and

the Little House books have also inspired

museums, libraries, a U.S. postage stamp,

stage adaptations, historic highways, a

LauraPalooza conference attended by

fans and scholars, and a crater on Venus.

As Wilder fans celebrate the 85th

American Masters —Laura Ingalls Wilder: Prairie to Page

THE LITTLE HOUSE BOOK SERIES by

Laura Ingalls Wilder has been a favorite

of children, teachers, and parents around

the world for over 80 years. Young readers

are spellbound by the plucky heroine

and her life on the frontier. For teachers,

the autobiographical coming-of-age

novels set across the Midwest in the late

1800s are the perfect primer on the set-

tling of America, written by someone

who was there.

The eight bestselling novels—originally

published in the 1930s and 1940s, with

a ninth book published posthumously— CO

A

p l icated history of the unl ikely

author—a Midwestern farm woman who

published her first novel at age 65—and

reveals how she transformed her early

life into enduring legend, a process that

involved a little-known collaboration

with her daughter Rose.

Victor Garber narrates, with Tess

Harper as the voice of Old Laura and

Amy Brenneman as Rose.

Featuring never-before-published

letters, photographs and family artifacts,

the documentary explores the context in

which Wilder lived and wrote, as well as

the true nature of her personality. Wilder's

life differed greatly from the Laura we see

in her books and the TV series.

Original interviews include Caro-

line Fraser, who won a Pulitzer Prize

for Prairie Fires: The American

Dreams of Laura Ingalls

Wilder; Wilder historian

Wi l l i a m A n d e r s o n ;

authors Louise Erdrich, Roxane Gay,

Lizzie Skurnick, and Newbery Award

winner Linda Sue Park; and actors from

the beloved TV series Little House on

the Prairie, including Melissa Gilbert

(Laura Ingalls Wilder), Alison Arngrim

(Nell ie Oleson), and Dean Butler

(Almanzo Wilder).

Though Wilder’s stories emphasized

real life and celebrated stoicism, she

omitted the grimmer and contradictory

details of her personal history: grinding

poverty, government assistance, depriva-

tion, and the death of her infant son.

Laura Ingalls Wilder: Prairie to Page reveals

the truth behind the bestsellers, and also

offers historical perspective from schol-

ars on Wilder’s racist depictions of Native

American and Black people, which have

stirred controversy in recent years and

made her less appealing to some readers,

teachers, and librarians.

“I am constantly amazed by how

much more there is for me to learn about

Ingalls because I’ve had the opportunity

to come at the Little House story from

so many different angles in so many

different ways,” Melissa Gilbert said in a

recent interview.

“When you read Wilder’s books as

an adult, you find more depth, you find

more sadness, you find more reality in

her books,” Pamela Smith

Hill, author of Laura Ingalls

Wilder: A Writer’s Life and

editor of Wilder’s New York

Times bestselling memoir,

says in the film.
