For generations, the works of Laura Ingalls Wilder have defined the American frontier and the pioneer experience for young readers everywhere. This groundbreaking volume presents three early versions of Wilder's original Pioneer Girl manuscript, along with previously unpublished letters and notes, revealing the process through which she and her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, transformed her autobiography into the much-loved Little House series. A fascinating resource for fans of the Pioneer Girl autobiography (see item HR6642), and the series that would become a classic of young adult literature. Hardcover, 484 pages.
