Description

This well-researched, sweeping book details the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder and those who came before her. It is clear that the different landscapes - Wisconsin, Kansas, the Ozarks - shaped them, particularly Laura and 'Pa'. The original art of Garth Williams and Helen Sewell deepens the poignancy and power of Laura's prairie, since today only one percent of it survives. Laura's work has preserved it for us. This book preserves it for us.

"One morning the whole world was delicately silvered. Every blade of grass was silvery and the path had a thin sheen. . . . When the sun came up, the whole prairie sparkled. Millions of tiny, tiny sparks of color blazed on the grasses." --from On The Banks of Plum Creek, by Laura Ingalls Wilder
