Reviews

"An engaging collection of Wilder's early non-fiction writing, which offers a window on the woman who would write the Little House series and on farm life in the early years of the twentieth century. Hines's notation and bibliography deepen the insights into Wilder provided by her early literary efforts."--Kansas History

"These writings provide a unique window into the thoughts and writing of Laura Ingalls Wilder, showing a side of her that many are unaware of."--John E. Miller, author of Becoming Laura Ingalls Wilder
