Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books, based on her own childhood
and later life, are still beloved classics almost a century after she
began writing them. Now young readers will see just how similar Laura's
true-life story was to her books. Born in 1867 in the Big Woods in
Wisconsin, Laura experienced both the hardship and the adventure of
living on the frontier. Her life and times are captured in engaging text
and 80 black-and-white illustrations.
