Little House on the Prairie
Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1935
A family crosses into the Kansas prairie with a wagon and no guarantee: pioneer life as a child saw it, thrilling, dangerous and close to the ground.

Feels like nostalgia, family and wonder.
Start with Little House on the Prairie.
Wilder began publishing the Little House books at 65, with her daughter Rose Wilder Lane editing the manuscripts; the prairie books drew on her family's moves across Wisconsin, Kansas and Minnesota.
The prairie before anyone has claimed it, and the strange relief of being no one.
There was only the enormous, empty prairie, with grasses blowing in waves of light and shadow across it, and the great blue sky above it, and birds flying up from it and singing with joy because the sun was rising. And on the whole enormous prairie there was no sign that any other human being had ever been there. Books by Laura Ingalls Wilder
