Laura Ingalls Wilder's little town

Sinopse

This book on Laura Ingalls Wilder and her popular series of children's novels springs from the premise that history and literature are closely intertwined and that each has much to contribute to the other. The reader of literature will understand it better and enjoy it more by placing it in historical context. In like manner, the student of history can learn much about past people, places, and actions by viewing them in the light of imaginative literature that dramatizes them and illuminates the contexts in which they occurred. - Introduction.
