About the author

Laura Ingalls Wilder (February 7, 1867 – February 10, 1957) was an American writer, most notably the author of the Little House on the Prairie books of children's novels based on her childhood in a settler family. Her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, encouraged her to write and helped her to edit and publish the novels.

A popular television series was loosely based on the Little House books, starring Melissa Gilbert as Laura Ingalls and Michael Landon as her father, Charles Ingalls.

Little House on the Prairie is a media franchise that started with a series of children's books by Laura Ingalls Wilder that were originally published between 1932 and 1943, and grew to include television and stage adaptations.

History

The Little House series is based on decades-old memories of Laura Ingalls Wilder's childhood in the Midwest region of the United States during the late 19th century. The books are told in the third person, with Laura Ingalls acting as the central character and protagonist, and are generally classified as fiction rather than as autobiography when categorized in libraries and bookstores.

Wilder's daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, assisted her mother with the editing of the works. The depth of her involvement, and the extent of her influence on the theme and content of the books, has been the subject of some scholarly debate in recent years. Almost all Wilder scholars and her biographers consider that the writing of the books was a tense but ultimately effective continuing collaboration between mother and daughter, with Wilder writing the books and her daughter editing them.

The books have remained continuously in print since their initial publication by Harper & Brothers. They are considered classics of American children's literature and remain widely read. The most current print edition contains illustrations by Garth Williams. The books were also adapted into the long-running, popular American television series Little House on the Prairie in 1974.
