INCREDIBLE!

Anderson writes a wonderful and incredible book about Laura Ingalls Wilder. She is a fascinating person and this is a wonderful tribute to her and her life.Anderson fills his book with facts about Laura's life that I have never read before. Laura chose not to write about every year in her life... this book covers some of them.Excellent, terrific and informative book... wonderful addition to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Little House series. You will absolutely enjoy it!

A good retrospective of Laura's life

This book is good for tgose who read the entire Little House collection. It reveals the parts and details of Laura's life that she omitted on her books. Aside from its simple language (the book was planned to 9-12 readers, but it doesn't ruins the reading also), its a must ofr Laura's fans.

This is an excellent book about Laura Ingalls Wilder

William Anderson has written an interesting and enlightening book about one of America's best loved authors. Although I had read all of Laura Ingalls Wilder's books, I had never really developed a sense for who she was until reading Anderson's biography. For anyone who loves history and the pioneer way of life this is an excellent book. For young readers, it is an education to a much simpler way of life, and the answer to what happened to Laura as an older adult.
