The first complete historical biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder, the precious author of the tiny House on the Prairie booklet series Millions of lovers of Little House on the Prairie believe that they know Laura Ingalls - the pioneer gal who survived blizzards and near-starvation on the Great Plains, and the woman who wrote the famous autobiographical literature. But the true report of her life hasn't been fully told. Now, drawing on unpublished manuscripts, characters, diaries, and land and financial data, Caroline Fraser - the editor of the Collection of America model of the tiny House series - masterfully fills in the gaps in Wilder's biography, establishing the record upright regarding charges of ghostwriting that have swirled round the literature and uncovering the grown-up report behind the most important childhood epic of pioneer life.

Offering fresh perception and new discoveries about Wilder's life and times, Prairie Fires is the definitive booklet about Wilder and her world. Caroline Fraser is the editor of the Collection of America model of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House literature and the writer of Rewilding the World and God's Perfect Child.
