How is your summer reading going? May I suggest William Anderson's biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder for your reading pleasure?
"The Little House series introduced millions of readers to the beloved world of Laura Ingalls Wilder. From her very young days on the prairie to her golden years with her husband, Almanzo, Laura has become a friend to all who read her classic books. Here, noted Wilder historian William Anderson takes a fresh look at Laura in the days of her youth, and gives a detailed account of the events her cherished books describe. In these pages we learn what historic events inspired Laura to write her stories and what happens to her after the last Little House book ends. This book is sure to satisfy even the most curious fans who long to know even more about Laura's adventurous pioneer life!"
"Particularly interesting are the sections that fill in the gaps in Wilder's stories - the time spent in Burr Oak, Iowa, and the years following her marriage to Almanzo.... A thorough work, reflecting a lifetime of research on the part of Anderson." -ALA Booklist
