Laura: The Life of Laura Ingalls Wilder [B0373]

1976 HCDJ presumed 1st edition in great condition other than some wear to the dust jacket. Donald Zochert draws on documented records and Mrs. Wilder's unpublished memoirs to picture the people, places, and events that informed her ninety years and inspired her well-beloved Little House books - includes photographs.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Having just finished the "Little House" series, I was looking for more Laura Ingalls Wilder. I've read a couple more contemporary biographies of her, but this is the one I come back to. Admittedly, it glosses over a lot of the tough parts of Laura's life. The book makes use of Laura's diaries and journals to fill in some "Little House" gaps. But I think the reason I liked this book so much was that it feels like you're reading a "Little House" book. Donald Zochert has absolutely captured the essence of Laura within these pages. Absolutely lovely, nostalgic reading."; "I loved the simplicity of this book. It brought back memories of enjoying the "Little House" series as a preteen and gave more insight into her life outside of the stories shared in her books. I liked reading about the history of pioneers in general and I think everything the author included fit together so nicely into an endearing biography."
