Available for the first time and collected in one volume, the
letters of one of America's most beloved authors, Laura Ingalls
Wilder-a treasure trove that offers new and unexpected
understanding of her life and work. The Selected Letters of Laura
Ingalls Wilder is a vibrant, deeply personal portrait of this
revered American author, illuminating her thoughts, travels,
philosophies, writing career, and dealings with family, friends,
and fans as never before. This is a fresh look at the adult life of
the author in her own words. Gathered from museums and archives and
personal collections, the letters span over sixty years of Wilder's
life, from 1894-1956 and shed new light on Wilder's day-to-day
life. Here we see her as a businesswoman and author-including her
beloved Little House books, her legendary editor, Ursula Nordstrom,
and her readers-as a wife, and as a friend. In her letters, Wilder
shares her philosophies, political opinions, and reminiscences of
life as a frontier child. Also included are letters to her
daughter, writer Rose Wilder Lane, who filled a silent role as
editor and collaborator while the famous Little House books were
being written. Wilder biographer William Anderson collected and
researched references throughout these letters and the result is an
invaluable historical collection, tracing Wilder's life through the
final days of covered wagon travel, her life as a farm woman, a
country journalist, Depression-era author, and years of fame as the
writer of the Little House books. This collection is a sequel to
her beloved books, and a snapshot into twentieth-century living.
