A Prairie Pilgrimage

Long after our childhoods are gone, many of us still remember and cherish the books we loved as children. Wendy McClure takes her devotion to the Little House books even further, all the way to the places where author Laura Ingalls Wilder lived and worked. McClure's new book,The Wilder Life: My Adventures in the Lost World of Little House on the Prairie, is a quest, an obsession, and a literary road trip all in one. She travels from Minnesota to Missouri to get as close as possible to the little prairie hero, and she does so with real humor and nostalgia for the stories inspired by the quiet landmarks. The Wilder Life is a wistful journey for anyone who has really, truly loved a book.
