Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series chronicled frontier life in the late 1860s. The classic books are both a coming of age story and a reflection of the pioneer spirit of the time. They are also deeply rooted in the natural world--the plants, animals, and landscapes are as integral to the stories as the characters. A Wilder World, by New York Times bestselling author Marta McDowell, beautifully explores Laura Ingalls Wilder's deep relationship to the landscape and illuminates a crucial aspect of the pioneer experience. Featuring original art by Helen Sewell and Garth Williams and historical and contemporary photographs, A Wilder World is a must-read companion to the Little House books and a must-have treasure for the millions of readers enchanted by Laura's wild and beautiful life.
