Laura Ingalls Wilder was born on February 7, 1867. Her Little House series about life as a pioneer girl began with the publication of Little House in the Big Woods in 1932. Historian William Anderson, a Wilder scholar, has written several biographies of Laura Ingalls Wilder for children. For three of my favorites, see my recommended
