The universal appeal of Laura Ingalls Wilder springs from a life lived in partnership with the land, on farms she and her family settled across the Northeast and Midwest. In this revealing exploration of Wilder's deep connection with the natural world, Marta McDowell follows the wagon trail of the beloved Little House series. You'll learn details about Wilder's life and inspirations, pinpoint the Ingalls and Wilder homestead claims on authentic archival maps, and learn to grow the plants and vegetables featured in the series. Excerpts from Wilder's books, letters, and diaries bring to light her profound appreciation for the landscapes at the heart of her world.

and the narrator was so good. The last chapter is a hidden treasure, a road trip of Laura Ingalls Wilder's life that feels hard to resist. Gardening, wildflowers, fields, forests, rocks, streams fill the pages. They filled my heart, even today after almost 50 years of mainly vegetable gardening that expanded to pollinators.

wonderful
