Laura Ingalls Wilder- Pepin's Famous Author
I'd like to open a thread here to discuss Laura Ingalls Wilder, perhaps Wisconsin's most famous author. I'd love to talk to other Laura fans!
I've been a Laura addict all my life, going beyond the "Little House" series to extensively research her real life. I've not gotten to any of the real "Little House" sites yet, but it seems that Pepin county, her birthplace, would be the place to start! Has anyone been to the replica of her little house in Pepin that has some tales to tell?
Picking a favorite book is nearly impossible, but I think "Little Town on the Prairie" wins that honor for me. I loved reading about Laura's teenage years, and how people in her day socialized and interacted with each other. I appreciate the care and detail Laura puts into her writing, you feel like you're there with her! When she describes making Mary's dress for college, you can nearly see it!
Share your "Little House" memories here, or post a question about Laura's life! I'd be happy to share my knowledge and passion for one of my favorite authors.
