In mid-February 1931, Laura Ingalls Wilder found a surprise in her rural Missouri mailbox—a letter from New York publisher Alfred A. Knopf. Opening the letter, Wilder discovered that editor Marion Fiery, the head of the children’s department at Knopf, had very much enjoyed her manuscript “When Grandma Was a Little Girl” and wanted the author to expand it by 15,000 words. It must have shocked Wilder because she had no idea what the editor was talking about.
Wilder could only guess that it had something to do with her adult autobiography Pioneer Girl, which her daughter Rose Wilder Lane had edited three times and was then trying to sell to magazine publishers in New York City. As vaguely and politely as she could, Wilder wrote Fiery that she had “many more memories of the days of my story and am sure I can make it the length you wish.” And then she waited. What was her daughter up to? Wilder had told Lane that she did not want to turn her autobiography into fiction, whether for adults or children, but she also knew that Lane had a mind of her own.

The contrast between these two remarkably different women—Wilder and Lane, mother and daughter, rural newspaper columnist and nationally established novelist, author, and editor—provides all the drama in Pioneer Girl: The Path into Fiction. About a week after Wilder heard from Fiery, a long letter from Lane arrived in Wilder’s mailbox. Lane painstakingly explained that she had run a portion of Pioneer Girl through her own typewriter one last time, creating a picture book that “strung together” the stories of Wilder’s father, Charles P. Ingalls. She did not explain when or why she had done this, but simply directed her mother to a carbon copy of a twenty-one-page manuscript in the file cabinets on the sleeping porch at Rocky Ridge Farm near Mansfield, Missouri.

Hoping to avoid conflict over the liberties she had taken, Lane wrote: “I wish you would just get another tablet and put down in it somehow the other 15,000 words that Marian wants. When I come home, I will go through the whole thing, and we will send it off to her and get the contracts signed up and all. Then that will be off our minds.” But Lane could not leave it at that; she began to tell her mother how to structure the narrative and shape her characters, pushing her into the world of fiction. At that point, Wilder took stock and began to push back.

In Pioneer Girl: The Path into Fiction, the story of these two strong individuals plays out through the manuscripts that each woman generated. Lane’s two picture book typescripts, the rough Juvenile Pioneer Girl and the cleaned-up and polished “When Grandma Was a Little Girl,” illustrate the ways in which Lane, the experienced novelist, began to edit and rearrange her mother’s autobiographical writings into a fictional story for young readers. She selected the cozy Wisconsin log cabin Wilder had so lovingly described in her autobiography as the setting. She removed many elements from the story to trim it to about eight thousand words, including Baby Carrie and the sibling rivalry between sisters Mary and Laura. Once she finished, Lane sent “When Grandma Was a Little Girl” to her own literary agent and then to her friends in the publishing industry until it reached Fiery at Knopf. In condensing the story, Lane told her mother she had eliminated a lot of material that Wilder would now have to add back in to increase the word count. But Lane had also overstepped, giving Wilder’s Ma and Pa new dialogue and new characterizations that Wilder could not let stand.
Retrieving the typescript from Lane’s files, Wilder immediately took her daughter to task. “You have Ma say ‘she vowed she didn’t believe those young ones were ever going to sleep,’” Wilder scolded Lane. “Never in the world [was that] what she would have sai[d].” The author then reframed the dialogue to reflect her mother’s voice and character: “‘Charles, I don’t belie[ve] those children will ever go to sleep.’” Neither Ma nor Pa, Wilder continued, “would have though[t] of calling us ‘young ones’[;] we were always children and, ‘I vow’ was something Ma never would have said, being a lady and a school teacher.” Wilder made these changes to her characters’ speech and behavior in her completed manuscript (WCM), which is close to how it appears in Little House in the Big Woods (p. 73).[1] Lane also tried to convince her mother that Charlie Quiner’s naughtiness in the harvest field was something that Laura would have admired. Wilder wisely ignored the idea.
In her working drafts and fragmentary episodes, Wilder added fifteen to twenty thousand words to the picture book manuscript, turning it into a chapter book for readers aged eight to ten. She took control of her characters, reinstated the sibling rivalry between Laura and Mary, showcased her own tomboyishness, and returned her baby sister Carrie to the narrative. She also created new material, blending her memories with the needs of the story. For example, Wilder combined her reminiscences of playing house in Wisconsin as a four-year-old with household jobs she performed as a teenager in the Dakota Territory. In her completed manuscript, she outlined the work in a familiar “rhyme” that specified a job for each day. She returned Charlie Quiner’s misbehavior to the story without a shred of admiration for his conduct.

Even as Wilder asserted control over her characters and employed a deft hand with dialogue, she relied heavily on Lane’s editorial guidance. She valued her daughter’s experience, trusted her judgment, and knew there was still much to learn about writing fiction for young readers. When Little House in the Big Woods debuted in April 1932 as a children’s book club selection amid a fanfare of rave reviews, Wilder could also recognize her own strengths as a writer. She had never lost faith in the compelling story of her own childhood or the lure of her father’s stories about it. She had ensured the integrity of her characters as she understood them. While she would continue to accept her daughter’s editing on her behalf in the years to come, she would also rely on her own sure instincts as a writer of autobiographical fiction.

Being named Laura, not for the author, but for my mom’s favorite Aunt….whose life growing up in Kansas was much like the authors, I find LIW’s life story fascinating.
Have the entire little house book series and countless others about her.
Summer 2022, was in Pepin for LIW days and spent over $200 on books in the store.
Yea. I am a fan, thru and thru.
The facts behind books are quite interesting..
Here’s my thing why is everybody nitpicking Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books of course she was going to change the books because she was gearing near children as audience not adults of course her books were going to be fictional and things were going to be changed if she wrote a regular book about her everyday life wouldn’t it be boring maybe in her biography she was a little bit more truthful things happen on the Prairie that probably children didn’t need to know about that was a rough life that she lived. And some things that are even her daughter wrote were not true so why is everybody sit in their nitpicking lower Ingles Wilder Wonder daughter didn’t write half of the truth either so what’s the point I think Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books are fine the way they are yes there’s some things that are a little bit strange and different you got to remember living on the Prairie and the way her father just up and left and I’ll brooded them from place to place and must have been a horrible feeling not having to know where you’re going to plant your feet the next time you were having to get up and move in the middle of the night because of his because her poor father couldn’t pay the bills. We all have ghosts in the Attic we all have things in our past that we just don’t want to remember so why not remember Laura Ingalls Wilder for her books and for Rose Lane for the books that she wrote.
I loved the show when it first came out! Now I am watching it again because I was off to boarding school and missed a lot of the episodes. So, it’s a lot of fun to see all of the exciting new things that I had missed!
I love the true story about this and the remake stories about this!! I am a huge fan and collector of all the movies ever since I was a young girl and I am now the age of 50!! I remember watching them with my little sister and she’s now in her 40s and still is a fan!! When we were little girls even our dad didn’t miss a episode!! He loved Little House on the Prairie. My dad’s gone now. May he RIP but the memories are still there every time I watch the show!! Then to carry on the tradition my son became a all time huge fan of the show at the age 16 and still is now at the age 29!! Thank you Little House on the Prairie for being a part of my family tradition!! We love every show!!
I have watched Little House On The Prairie since I was a little girl. I still watch it, I just love the show and the movies they use to have. At least I see the reruns. That will never stop me from watching the show ever. They were part of my life as a child, I wish I had a family like they did. I just felt peaceful every time I watched and listened to them. Now my life is complete and better now. Thanks to the Little House On The Prairie.
I absolutely love little house on the prairie. been watching it since I was little girl on 56 years old and still watch all the reruns every day till this day and have the collection. love the family oriented movies as well as the waltons. now my daughter and her three little girls are watching I’ll continue to watch till the day I die ❤️❤️
Love the little house in the prairie watched it as a teenager and watch it as an old lady
Can’t wait to read!
My twin sister and I loved Little House as children. We adored the books and the show. Acting out our favorite scenes after the episode was over was our favorite pass time. We would go days and days pretending we were Mary and Laura, always requesting that everyone address us properly. In the late 70s my mom bought us prairie dresses and I even wore mine to school! Grandchildren are coming along and of course we are sharing our love for Little House.
I’m excited to read Pioneer Girl Perspectives: Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Wonderful books!
Pioneer Girl: The Path into Fiction
I would be delighted to win any of the items offered. My 3 daughters and I are all fans of LHOTP books, and watched the TV series together for many years. All of them would usually wear the bonnets that I’d made for them, as they sat in front of the set. As a little girl, our oldest daughter would cry every time an episode ended. Needless to say, we tried many diversions to cheer her up. She finally outgrew the reaction when she realized there really would be another show in a few days. As an adult, this same daughter took her 3 children on a summer trip to visit one of the tourist sites in the mid west, and loved seeing the buildings and antiques on display.
I am most anxious to read Perspectives and The Path into Fiction- Laura Ingalls Wilder is a HUGE part of my childhood!
Can’t wait to read them all.

I have always loved to read and the Little House series was one of the first series I read. I like to read anything about Ingalls and the history of the towns they lived in.
I enjoyed watching Little House on the Prairie as a child on television. As an adult, I enjoyed going to Heritage Hill in Green Bay, Wisconsin to attend the Laura Ingalls Wilder Days and listen to the cast members talk about their experiences on the television series. William Anderson was at one of those events and enjoyed listening the history on the family. I would enjoy reading other books on the Ingalls family. Thank you.

I am so excited to read these new books. I am a retired teacher and I always used the Little House books in history class. My own children loved everything about Laura Ingalls . They even joined the Little House on the Prairie book club offered by Scholastic Book Club that was popular about 20 years ago. I saved paper dolls, crafts, books etc. that I had collected over the years. During the pandemic I home schooled my 5 year old granddaughter. We spent months learning about her. I ordered every book relating to Laura I could find on line. My granddaughter listens to the Little House audible books at bedtime. I relish times when my grandchildren visit and we open the totes of my Laura stuff to enjoy for hours.
I love to read it all! How exciting! And the tote bag is a good add to it 🥰
I am so excited to read all these books but probably Pioneer Girl Perspectives: Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder as I have been fascinated with Laura, both her fictional and real life, since I first read the Little House books in elementary school.

Love Laura Ingalls!
Hi! I don’t know that I can pick a favorite from this list. It is Laura Ingalls Wilder, and I have loved ALL things LIW since I was a child. It was that love that got my Dad to cave in on our last family vacation before he died and go to Mansfield, MO when my sisters and I found it on the map at a rest stop when we were in Missouri. It was a little out of our way, but we said it was only fair since we had done all things Mark Twain for him. In the end, he and our mom enjoyed that visit to Mansfield just as much as we did. So, anything and everything LIW has me excited! Even better, I’ll be able to share knew knowledge with my sisters and reminisce about that last trip.
Can’t wait to read Pioneer Girl- The Path into Fiction !
All the books sound interesting. I have always loved Laura Ingalls Wilders Books! I would love to win this. Thank you very much for the chance!
All of these books sound wonderful, and I want to read them all. I guess the one I would pick to read first is Pioneer Girl: The Path Into Fiction
I have loved all things pertaining to LIW since my third grade teacher read ‘Little House in the Big Woods’ to the class. That was over 50 years ago. I wrote a letter in elementary school (1967) asking for information and photos of Laura and it was William Anderson who answered that letter, sending me a few photos and an address where I could find additional information. I still have that letter.
I would love to read ‘Pioneer Girl: The Path into Fiction’. I’m sure it’s full of information about the ups and downs of getting the beloved ‘Little House’ books started.
I now have my great granddaughters reading my books about Laura Ingalls Wilders life.
I read the Little House books when I was young. I identify a lot with Laura and always believed she has a great deal to teach us about life during her time. I’d like to read any of these new books.
Pioneer Girl Perspectives: Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder autographed by editor Nancy Tystad Koupal sounds like an interesting read

Oh– I want to read them all!! Knowing that the setting for some of the stories took place in Wisconsin makes reading them all the more special. It’s important to pass along the history to our next generation and these books do it in such a way that transports us to another time period. I love reading about the Ingalls family.
I loved the series as a child and now love the follow up books as an adult! So intriguing, this way of life and how it mimics our local Mennonite community!

Have Laura Ingalls Wilder since I read something and her name was mentioned.
Remarkable woman she was. The whole family is actually.
I think all the books would be interesting. To get a perspective on the writing from the author herself would be fascinating plus to learn more about her upbringing would be fun.
What a great way to be introduced to the various facets of Laura Ingalls Wilder and one of her books! Not only the story, but the pathway to the fictional rendition, as well as insight into the author in addition to revisions of the story!!!
excited to read them all!!
As a little girl, I often pretended to be Laura . I was the only child for nine years and had such an imagination and love for books. I did not own many books but the ones I did, I read over and over. The little house books and little women were my life companions. I now love reading with my own child as we have homeschooled going on seven years.
I can’t wait to read Pioneer Girl: The Path into Fiction!!
I’m trying to collect all the books to start reading them to my 3 yr old granddaughter. A world without Laura’s life stories isn’t one I plan for her. I’ve already bought all seasons of the show for my granddaughter. I want to her Laura Ingalls Wilder alive in our family.

I grew up with Little House on the Parie both movies and books…if it wasn’t for the lesson I learned I would not have survived today. A positive attitude and hard work got them through and as got me through.
When my husband passed almost ten years ago the only thing I did for the first two yrs was watched the showes over and over.

A pioneer Girl. The path into fiction
I would love to read Pioneer Girl Perspectives: Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder because this suggests to me that there are more stories and things I still don’t know about her and her life, which is very exciting to me!
I am especially interested in reading Pioneer Girl Perspectives: Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Learning more about the “genesis” of LIW’s writing and the influence Rose had as her mother’s editor fascinates me.
Besides being a fan of the books as a child, I’ve read some of Rose Wilder Lane’s work. So I’m excited to read Pioneer Girl: The Path Into Fiction to learn more about the mother/daughter dynamic the two had.

I’m most excited for “Path into Fiction”. My students and I were discussing this last week in light of Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried” and pondering the line between autobiography, historical fiction and creative non fiction. I’m really interested in exploring the discussion of how we can define the Little House books, so this is right up my alley!
Love the Pioneer Girl series! Excited to get my hands on this one.

Im Sooooooo interested to read Pioneer Girl: A Path Into Fiction because hearing the story of how these beloved books came to be would be fascinating. I LOVED them all growing up especially Little House in the Big Woods. And then I read them to my children when they were young.
Little House on the Praire is a favorite of mine and my grandaughter. What a wonderful book series for all ages.
I’m most interested in the Revised Texts – it’s interesting to see the writer’s process in play.
I am excited to read any of the books! I have enjoyed reading all of the Little House on the Prairie books growing up and watching it on tv. I still watch the reruns because I think they are good and have good messages.

I am most excited to read Pioneer Girl: The Path to Fiction.
Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Writer’s Life
It’s difficult to choose just one because I can devour all things ‘Little House’. But I think the Path into Fiction will provide some great perspective about how Laura turned her life stories into books for children.
Pioneer Girl Perspectives. I’ve been a fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder for 60+ years.
I would love to read them all, but am especially interested in the Pioneer Girl Perspectives 😍📖
They all sound great I’m excited for all of them!
I can’t wait to read all of them!!
I’m so excited to read The Path Into Fiction because I’ve been fascinated with the relationship between Laura and Rose.
I would love to read them all! I am especially interested in the newest one-Path to Fiction-I think it would be so fun to know what parts of the books and episodes were fictionalized. I have been a LHOTP fan since I was a little girl-I am 51 yrs old and still watch all of the seasons on DVD.
I would love to read them all. Little House on the is my favorite.
A Writer’s Life
I’m looking forward to reading them all
I would love to read any one of the books. My daughter and I read the LHOP series aloud together; it is one of my favorite memories from her early childhood.
I am excited to read A Writers Life
Pioneer girl, the path to fiction!
All of these sound amazing, but I would love to read the path to fiction one. Thanks for the chance to win.
Truly, I am excited to read all of these books! Being a young woman in my early 20s, I didn’t get the chance to grow up with the Little House television series nor the book series when they first came out. But I am ever glad I’ve had the chance to visit them now! I adore all of the colorful characters, playful settings, and fascinating stories that made up Laura’s life.
My favorite book of hers is “Little House in the Big Wood”. It was such a charming tale! I loved reading about her family and friends before the big move to the prairie. The television series was such a joy to watch, too! Pa and Ma were a darling couple, and have truly been an inspiration to my own romantic life. If I can’t find someone who looks at me like how Michael Landon’s Charles looked at Karen Grassle’s Caroline, than I don’t want them! But my favorite character would have to be Nels Olson. What a kind yet strong man!
It would be an absolute honor to get the chance to read more about Laura’s story through this beautiful giveaway.
What an exciting giveaway! Thanks! I want to read #2, 3, or #4 since I don’t have those yet.
Pioneer Girl Perspectives: Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder

I would look forward to reading any of the books.. the books look beautiful!! I would love to especially read the Path to Fiction to gain new insights into these classic stories
I’m excited to read all the titles, but am particularly interested in Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Writer’s Life!
I am so totally intrigued by Pioneer Girl: The Path Into Fiction — I love the introduction you gave of it, with Laura suddenly finding a letter from a publisher about… what? She didn’t know. It encapsulates the intriguing relationship between Laura and Rose. Wow, I am fascinated to see how the story plays out.
I’m excited to read all of them but most exited for Pioneer Girl : The Path Into Fiction.
Any of these books would be a fabulous read. My kids, 7 and 5, loved our nightly readings of the series of Little House on Praire. All of us were sad when we finished them all so these would be a fun addition!
I’m looking for to reading the new one and cant wait to know how Laura’s stories turned into such wonderful works of fiction.
Pioneer Girl: The Revised Texts

Pioneer Girl: Path Into Fiction looks super interesting to me!
I am excited about all the books but if I have to choose just one, I’d say A Writer’s Life.
I’m most excited about Pioneer Girl Perspectives.
Very excited to read the new Pioneer Girl book, The Path into Fiction.
The Path to Fiction
I am excited to read all of the books. When I was homeschooling my nine children, every winter we would read all the Little House books out loud. It was our favorite part of winter!
I can’t pick just one I would love to read all of them! I have all of the books and I have watched (and still do watch) Little House on the prairie series. My husband and I even know all the funny little musical parts of the show and know when we hear a certain sound what episode it’s from. For instance the sound they always play when Mrs Olson comes into the scene or Mr Edwards or the sound they make when the kids all got Poison ivy from their leaf collecting field trip. I’d love to win and read any and all of the new books!
I’m excited for all the books can not pick just one
Thank you so much for the chance to enter and win such a beautiful gift.
My grand daughter and I are Little House obsessed. We can’t wait to read how Laura Ingalls turned her life into her famous writings.
Excited to add to my Laura Ingalls book collection! i have picture books, chapter books, autobiography, paper dolls, vhs tapes and even a cookbook !! Any and all books would be a wonderful addition to my collection!
I am a huge Laura Ingalls Wilder fan. It is on my bucket list to visit all of her home places she and her fam, Almanzo and Rose all lived. Residing in MN just an hour from Walnut Grove, i have visited all in MN, WI IA and SD. I am a true farm girl as well and resonate w Laura’s simple but powerful life.
Same here. SInce I found out the Ingalls are my cousins while doing Ancestry, I can’t wait to read every book about them to understand their lives.
I am most excited to read this last book, for it seems like it will stress all the real work Laura did, and show that Rose, while an excellent editor, was not (IMHO)the writer Laura was.
My entire family would enjoy these books but am looking particularly forward to A Writer’s Life.
I am 64 yrs old and have spent my life loving every one of the Laura Ingalls books. I also loved the clean good show she stared in. She has bought such joy to me.
I am most excited to read Pioneer Girl Fact into Fiction because it will be interesting to learn how Laura fictionalized her life.
I have always loved the Little House on the Prairie books ever since I opened the first book❤️
the path and all of them
Gosh, would love them all, but especially Pioneer Girl: The Path into Fiction. I’ve always wanted to see in detail the parts each woman (Laura/Rose) was responsible for through the books, and you’ve made it possible. Thanks!
I want this sooo bad!
OOOH! I can’t wait to read The Path into Fiction. I have absolutely loved bothe editions of Pioneer Girl. I always said I wanted to be LIW when I grew up. Well I still have a lottle time to get published before I hit the same age as she was!
I would love to read Laura Ingalls Wilder: a Writers Life.
I’m excited to read all of these with my daughter! We both love the books and the show and look forward to these ones as well.
I would love to read all of these books and share them with my daughters who loved reading the Little House series when they were younger.
I read the Pioneer Girl Annotated Bibliography but I would love to read the newest one of Path into Fiction. I just visited De Smet and am fascinated with the story behind the fiction stories I grew up loving.
I’m most excited to read The Annotated Autobiography and Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder! I’ve read all the Little House Books a few times over my years (I’m 51) and enjoyed reading The Rose Years, Caroline Years, Charlotte Years and Martha Years! Hoping someday to visit her homestead in Missouri!
Love Little House❤️
love these books
I am eager to read The Path to Fiction. It sounds like an intriguing book.
They all look great but I would be most interested in Pioneer Girl: The Path Into Fiction.
Any of the books would be delightful
I liked all of her books but never read the pioneer Girl to fiction but would love to read it
I can’t wait to read the Pioneer Girl The Path into Fiction because I love reading and watching the series of how Laura Ingalls with her family what she experienced. I have watched the series many times growing up and had my kids watch it when they grew up. I’m reading one of the books as a matter of fact now today. I enjoy the workshops y’all have set up. I just love the set up in the books and tv series. Because it teaches us we can still live that life with wood burning stove and ovens. We can run a business without what we have now. I love the books especially because it give adults and kids a chance to experience how it was back when their was no electronics. Then that their is more out in nature. It’s full of adventures that uplifts everyone!
I grew up watching the Little House series. It was about the only wholesome tv show that my parents allowed us to watch. When I was little, I was always told that I had an uncanny resemblance to Melissa Gilbert as Laura, so I was properly nicknamed “Half Pint”, helps growing up in an irish household. To this day any time I come across a rerun of the show, I sit and cry(happy tears) from the memories. When the last episode was aired, we all cried. It felt as though we were losing our family members. It especially effected me when Michael Landon and Victor French passed away, I lost my pa and my uncle Isaiah. That show will always have a special place in my heart.
My most favorite times are reading to my children…we loved going through the Little House series. I would like to read “Path into Fiction”…it sounds interesting.
I’m most excited to read Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Writer’s Life. I’ve enjoyed reading the Little House series.
How can I possibly pick ONE to be excited about. I absolutely love all things Laura!
The Pioneer Girl, The Path to Fiction is the book I’m excited to read!

I would like to read Pioneer Girl The Path Into Fiction
I am most excited to read “Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography”. I would love to read her direct words and separate fact from fiction. I know the TV show (which I love!) took liberties to enhance the stories for the viewer, but which parts are portraying something that actually happened? It sounds like a fascinating read and most definitely one I would enjoy!
Love LHOTP!

I am most excited to read “Pioneer Girl, The Path Into Fiction” because the state of Wisconsin holds a special place in my heart. My husband and I were able to take our three children out to Wisconsin for many summers and visit our Aunt Sue. I would read the Little House books while visiting and was able to experience a modern day, yet wondered what it was like back in Laura’s time. I would love to hear more about her first experiences through her voice.
I think I would be most interested in Pioneer Girl Perspectives: Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder. She has always fascinated since I was I young child.

I would love to read Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography because I love all things Laura and think her autobiography would be amazing.
Love to have these books.
I would choose Pioneer Girl Perspectives to read.
I agree with Becky, I do not want any part of social media.
Laura’s simpler lifestyle is my role model. I shared Laura’s books with my second graders for 34 years, and many of them traveled with their parents to the sites Laura & Almanzo traveled.
Would love to read them.
Please enter me in the Laura Ingalls Wilder contest. I am a life-long follower of this author. I have been a writer throughout my life. I’m currently working on a story of my life, including what I know about my family backgrounds. I’m thinking maybe I should change it to fiction?
I love The Little House books but it’s a shame that you get additional entries by going on social media. I don’t use any social media so I have no chance to win. It’s a shame that this site promotes living a simpler lifestyle only to also promote social media, the irony is not lost on me.
I am very excited to hopefully be the winner. So looking forward. Thanks
I agree with you, Becky. And your comment makes me imagine conversations between Laura and Rose about artificial intelligence and tools like ChatGPT being used to create manuscripts!
I agree!
I agree and also do not use social media.
Pioneer Girl Perspectives: Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder Is the book I’m most interested in. My grandmother grew up near Mansfield, Mo. so I am most interested in learning more about their lives there.
The path Into Fiction is the one I would like to read the most.

The Path to Fiction sounds quite interesting. I quite enjoyed the Annotated Biography.

I have loved this series and very much appreciate the scholarship behind it. I would most like to read The Path into Fiction to learn the truth about Rose’s influence on Laura.
Having grown up with The Little House books, I revisited them as an adult. I’m really looking forward to reading The Path Into Fiction to see how it all came together.

I would love to read Pioneer Girl the Annotated Autobiography. I love history and Laura’s writings. I have lived in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri and have visited most of the little house sites. I love the details of annotated biographies.
Excited to read “An Author’s Life”
Very curious about the real story of Laura Ingalls Wilder
“Pioneer Girl: the Path Into Fiction” sounds the most interesting to me. I didn’t know that it was Rose who pushed her mother into telling her stories. I am anxious to see how that evolved! I have always love the series since I was young. My daughter loved it too, and dressed as Laura for Halloween one year. I am a fourth grade teacher, and every year I read “Little House in the Big Woods” to my students. It is always a hit!!
I’m most excited to read Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Writer’s Life.
Being an author myself I would love to read the book about a writer’s life. All of them really! I read the Little House books to my kids and hopefully to all my grandkids when they are old enough. They are amazingly warm, inviting, and pure! I taught a class on Little House in the Big Woods and hope to continue inspiring others through these works!
I’d enjoy reading, “Pioneer Girl.”
Good morning! This was all so fascinating to me to finally better understand the working relationship between Laura and Rose. I’ve often wondered about it, only hearing snippets here and there regarding how Rose had more to do with Laura’s books than most thought. I am most excited to read, “Pioneer Girl: The Path Into Fiction”, and learn more about their relationship!
I’m totally excited about this giveaway! I would love any of the books. Little House, the Path into Fiction would be my number one choice. I have a complete set of the LH books. I also teach fifth grade reading so of course I would LOVE to have all of these to add to my collection! Thank you for the giveaway!!! Someone will be truly blessed!!
Pioneer Girl: The Path Into Fiction
I think I’d like the Pioneer Girl: The Path into Fiction. I’d love to read more about how Laura Ingalls Wilder came to write fiction.
While I would love to read any and all of these books, I would really like to read “Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Writer’s Life.”
I would love to have these books.
I’m so excited, this is very exciting news!!
Honestly, I cannot choose which book I’m most excited to read because I can’t wait to read ALL of them! This blog, though, was beautifully written and very encompassing. Even if I don’t win, I’ll continue enjoying this blog and website. Thank you for creating all of it!
I am excited to read all of them
I am excited to read “Pioneer Girl: The Path into Fiction.” I love the book cover! It evokes the same feeling I get seeing the book cover that I would get as a young girl when I received a new Laura Ingalls Wilder book.
Pioneer Girl Perspectives:Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder.
I am most interested in “Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography!
These ALL look amazing. I was not aware of any of these books, and I love the Little House series. Thank you so much for sharing.
I was very eager to enter this contest because I love the Little House books. However, getting to the bottom of this page and seeing it is a Rafflecopter contest, there is no way to win this. I do not believe Rafflecopter is a good way to showcase contests. Very disappointed here.
I’m excited to read all of the books!
I’m most excited to read Pioneer Girl: The Path into Fiction!
So excited to read Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Writer’s life
I am anxious to read whatever book I could possibly win. I have always enjoyed reading the books of Laura or anyone writing similar books.
I would LOVE to read the letters between Lane and Wilder. They were both such strong women, great female role models, and in such different ways. I love that they had equal strength but Laura’s was more backbone/stubbornness and Rose’s was more modern and forthright. I, like everyone of my generation, grew up loving these books so much plus I live 30 minutes from Mansfield so have spent many many summer days wandering around the farm.
I’m most excited to read A Writers Life!
I honestly don’t know which books I’m most excited to read. Pioneer Girl: The Path into Fiction would be interesting for sure.
I’m 63 years old and have always loved everything Little House!!! I have been a collector for many years.
I have tried a couple of times to leave a comment. I would love to read her book about writing her novel.
I love to read anything about this author and am especially interested in reading about the writing of her novel and her adventures.
I love Little HOuse on the Prairie .
I was so excited to read your email and learn of the exciting publications you are offering! I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie, reading the collection by Laura Ingalls Wilder as did my daughter. She savored the books reading them over and over. These well loved and ‘worn’ books remain part of her collection. Now she has a daughter who will be introduced to the world of Laura Ingalls Wilder. I would love to read all the books you listed, particularly Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography. In recent years, I have completed ancestry research for my own family, learning more of the history and context with supporting data such as census information, various records, newspaper stories, letters etc. This additional information offers new insights and helps to further develop the personalities of the folks and provide a fuller picture of their lives. It tells a story! I would love to learn more of the life and times of Laura Ingalls Wilder brought to life with data, photos and other historical documentation!
I’m excited to read Pioneer Girl Perspectives: Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder autographed by editor Nancy Tystad Koupal
I am excited to read all of the books. I still watch Little House on the Prairie.
That is my favorite show.
I am very excited to read the Pioneer Girl: The Path into Fiction. Reading how the relationship and growth of mother and daughter bond and strengths developed will be most enduring, especially as my mother loved to tell stories to our family as we were growing up.
I’d be excited to read “Pioneer Girl: The Path Into Fiction”. How amazing to see exactly how the drafts developed over time!
Great books . Hope I win.
My daughter would love this! She’s read the series numerous times so I’m not sure which would be her favorite. Probably the first 3 listed.
I am most excited to read Pioneer Girl: The Path Into Fiction,
I would be excited to read both The Path Into Fiction and The Revised Texts. I knew that Rose had helped Laura with her story and I’m curious to delve more into how the series was started and the journey that Laura and Rose took. Thank you for offering this giveaway!
Hi! This comment is for the June 2023 giveaway. Somehow I must’ve hit the button that said I commented when I was entering the giveaway, but I hadn’t commented yet! So I’m putting it on here. I hope that will work, and I still get entered! The book I’m most excited to read is the annotated biography. I love reading about people’s lives and experiences! 😊
I’m really interested in “Perspectives: Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder” – read and gave the first book in the series to my second and third grade classes, read the book series to our girls, watched the tv series together and now my grandchildren have read/heard the series.
Laura Ingalls Wilder’s writings (both children’s stories and her adult farm journal articles) have been the signposts pointing the way I wanted to shape my life: with love and courage, family and God at the forefront. She has not failed me.
I’m excited to read all of them, but The Path Into Fiction seems like it will go first!
I cannot, truthfully, say which book I am most excited about. I see them as a collection that needs to be read, enjoyed, and digested together.
Just love Laura and anything Little House
Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Writer’s Life
I enjoy knowing about the real people behind the movie. Their lives, what it was like in those times and all of the memories from the experiences and hardships they must encountered as homesteaders and farmers.
Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography
I’m excited to read Pioneer Girl: The Path into Fiction. Even as an adult I still love anything about Laura Ingalls Wilder.
All her books are my favorite
I can’t wait to read Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Writer’s Life. The thought that daughter Rose would try to undo what came from her mothers heart is sad. I will always believe and cherish every Little House book.
Any books about the Little house on the prairie because I used to watch them on the Irish Television in my young childhood which I really love to watch .
Back then there was no subtitles as it is now.
I love to read the book about them.
I am most excited for Pioneer Girl Perspectives. I know it will have valuable knowledge that will be useful for those with a pioneering spirit in the modern world.
I am excited to read all of them! I love the Little House series!

As someone who grew up reading and watching the Little House on the Prairie series, I really can’t make up my mind which book I am most excited to read.
I’m excited to read Pioneer Girl: The Path into Fiction
Pioneer Girl Perspectives: Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder. I grew up reading Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Growing up I had never missed this show, love love and still love it.
I would love any of these books. I loved watching Little House on the Prairie. Thanks for your great generosity.
The Writer’s Life! That looks most intriguing to me!
I have all the seasons of Little House on the Prairie. My favorite all time show EVER. I would love to win this. 🙂
Laura is my hero!
I’ve loved Laura since I was 8! I wanted to be Laura!
I’d enjoy reading any of them, but would probably read Laura Ingalls Wilder, A Writer’s Life first.
I’m so excited to read even more about Laura’s life, especially as an author!!
I am looking forward to the Path into Fiction book.
I love all of Laura Ingalls Wilder books and have been reading them since the age of nine when my fourth-grade teacher read Little House on the Prairie to the class. I read them several times, even in high school. When I had my first child, I bought the entire set and she read them. I then gave them to her as she had her first child. I have enjoyed reading all of Ms. Wilder’s works, including a book with a compilation of her articles. This would be a culmination of a lifetime of enjoying the window Ms. Wilder has given us into an era when life was difficult but interesting at the same time. I believe having insight into how Ms. Wilder entered into the world of writing would be very interesting. A copy of Pioneer Girl: The Path Into Fiction sounds wonderful.
This giveaway is so exciting!!
I have loved reading Laura Ingalls Wilder literature since 1968. I have had the pleasure of visiting most of the Laura Ingalls Wilder homesteads. I do not think I shall ever retire of reading about her life. I have a photo of Laura and Almanzo that sits on my book shelf next to the books I have of Laura’s.
I have followed this series since I was a very young girl.
I am now 55 and am still so in love with the books and memories of the life and family of Laura Ingalls Wilder. I find myself trying to find episodes to watch articles to read all the time. Takes me back to a time of innocence and when life was just simple, even though tough at times, but when a sense of love, family and community was alive.
I would love to add this to my collection of childhood favorites. Pioneer Girl
I want to read all of them!
I am interested in reading this set of books because I am curious of the lifestyle of the people at this time in history. Laura Ingals Wilder follows her family and their experiences in her stories. There, one can place themselves in these experiences and understand better how life unfolded for them.
I am excited to read “A writer’s life”. I have my mother’s diaries of her life in a convent to become a nun when she was a teenager and I have always wanted to write a book about that time of her life.
I’m interested in either Pioneer Perspectives or The Annotated Autobiography.
Thank you so much for the Giveaway.
I read and watching the Little House on the Prairie
I am excited to read everything written about Laura!
I want to read the annotated autobiography the most.
Ioneer Girls perspectives: Exploring Laura Ingalls Wilder. I would enjoy this book because I want to learn more about the author and her life and I enjoy the series on TV but her real life to me is something I want to learn about.
I’m excited to read them all but Pioneer Girl Perspectives would likely be the first I pick up.
I’m disappointed that this contest giveaway is only for those living in the United States. I live in Canada and have been an avid LHOTP fan for years. This will not interfere with my passion, though.

I am a huge fan of LIW and all her writings, and I grew up with the TV show. I’ve been to her house in Mansfield MO and Almanzo’s farm in Malone, NY. I love the pioneer spirit of strength, endurance, simplicity, honor, hard work, and community. Thank you for keeping that spirit alive!

I have loved the Little House books since I was a small child. I constantly checked them out of the library. We were poor growing up but my mom saw how much I enjoyed these books and found the entire set for me at a second hand book store and surprised me with them. I still have them 30 years later. I have had to tape many of them due to reading them so much.

I read the whole set of “Little House” books over and over in elementary school. Then my favorite actor Michael Landon did a series with my favorite books. Life could not be any better growing up in the “70’s! I still collect and read anything I can find about her and her family and also the stars in the series. Thanks for the opportunity to win books I do not have.

When my mother and husband passed within two years of each other, reading Laura’s books helped keep me going.
She is an incredible author, with an incredible story to tell.
Absolutely love her work.
I was almost homeless two weeks ago, and her stories of faith and endurance helped get me through.
It is my dream one day to visit the museum and maybe even see where she lived.

I would love this book to share with my grand kids. They love watching the show.
I love keeping my Pioneer Girl book out at all times because the cover is so beautiful! Looks like I’ll have to find a space for The Path into Fiction now.

Ilove to read the Little House books and watch the reruns on television
Bonsoir, J’aimerais les avoir toutes, mais en français, je suis une Mauricienne, de la Mauricie; du Québec pour la Province du Québec; et le Pays Canada. J’ai aimé les livres sur La petite maison de la prairie. Et, surtout la série. Et, j’aime l’évolution de la femme dans les années qui ont commencé. Et, j’apprécierais vraiment beaucoup avoir ce livre ou tous les autres livres. Merci à l’avance,
Loved Little House on The Prairie..
