Reviews
"Pioneer Girl provides a fascinating counterpoint to Wilder's sterilised chronicle of sunny life on the open prairie." -The Guardian "Pioneer Girl is thrilling and sad, and very revealing about the people in the Little House books and the times they lived in. ... It's not the charming read that Laura's Little House books are, but it's essential for anyone interested in finding out more about her life." The Irish Times "Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography ... is clearly the definitive work on Wilder. It thrills with new insights and mature content, educates with historical facts and documentation, and enlightens with cultural perspective and commentary, all while maintaining the spirit of adventure and integrity that is the backbone of the Little House world and Wilder herself." -Foreword Reviews "Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography offers Wilder's complete first draft of her own story, enhanced by scrupulous and wide-ranging new research. . . . And I'm happy to say is a treasure. . . . Wilder pulls off the difficult trick of telling a rich, satisfying story about good people being good. The Pa of Pioneer Girl is still a selfless provider, Ma is a skilled homemaker, Mary a prim playmate, and Laura a good-hearted tomboy. Their stories may have been tidied up on the path between nonfiction and fiction, but their characters remain reassuringly intact. . . . Pioneer Girl is a welcome reminder of the power, even the genius of the Little House books. . . . this annotated edition of Pioneer Girl will deepen and enrich a great American story." -The Slate Book Review

    A Little Monument to the Little House Author!

    This is an EXHAUSTIVE, scholarly study of a little known Wilder manuscript which was not published in her lifetime, passed by her publishers, and perhaps should not have been. It is important because it was the first attempt by Wilder to tell her story, before it was edited by her daughter and sanitized by the publishers, and parts of it were used later for her other books, and even some of her daughter's. It was the starter dough which produced a batch of loaves. The author has taken great care to research names, places and incidents to bring out the stories behind the stories... adding photography, clippings and maps, and even vintage illustrations of her more famous books to enrich the reader's grasp of Wilder's world, and perhaps understand her better than ever before. This is the ...

  • Fascinating Read

    Totally answers any questions I ever wanted to know about Laura and her family. It’s a large, hefty tome, so if you aren’t a fast reader, it will take you a while to get through it, but’s so worth it. Photography woven throughout that adds to the reader’s enjoyment. The dust jacket is so beautifully done that it would make a great coffee table book. Totally great purchase; it’s worth every penny and then some!

  • The original Little House book

    This is Laura Ingalls Wilder's first attempt at writing down her life story, accompanied by lots of historical photos and annotations. It's a plain tale simply told, with few literary trimmings, but it became the source for the seven Little House books and is no doubt a truer account of what happened to the Ingalls family. It's catnip for the Little House fan and good reading for anyone interested in the lives of American pioneers. As with many books about Laura Ingalls, however, the annotations tend to minimise the crucial role Rose Wilder Lane played in her mother's success. I'd like to read more about the collaboration between these two women, which has long fascinated me.

  • LEARN THE STORY BEHIND THE STORIES OF THE LITTLE HOUSE BOOKS

    Tons of information about the Little House years that wasn't included in the series. A lot of background information from other sources. A must have book for LIW fans.

  • Wow!

    This is a very good book, a must for Little House fans. I'm not even half way through but I can tell from what I've read that the way of live I had pictured in my head for the Ingalls family was not at all the way it really was. This book is a real eye-opener!!
