Résumé:
Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved Little House series is a classic coming-of-age story based on Wilder's own family and the pioneer spirit of the time. Deeply rooted in the natural world, Wilder describes the plants, animals, and landscapes in such detail, they are practically their own characters. This book explores Wilder's deep relationship with the landscape. Follow the Wilder's wagon trail starting in the Wisconsin setting of Little House in the Big Woods, through the Dakotas, and finally to Missouri. You'll learn details about Wilder's life and inspirations, discover how to visit the real places today, and even learn to grow the plants and vegetables featured in the series.
