Laura Ingalls Wilder (February 7, 1867 – February 10, 1957) is the author of “The Little House” series of children’s books based on her pioneering childhood. At the end of the nineteenth century, traveling with all their possessions in a covered wagon, the Ingalls moved west from Wisconsin to Missouri, Kansas and Dakota. Although she didn’t start writing the books until she was 65 years old, the series is written in her voice as a girl of four through seven.
