Scholars who have taken up Wilder\u2019s body of work have examined its complex depiction of the colonial project of the nineteenth-century United States. Since the 1970s, screen adaptations of the Little House books have expanded and responded to the source material in increasingly complex ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:68px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3a88641f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Print<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/laura-ingalls-wilder\/\">Laura Ingalls Wilder<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/rose-wilder-lane\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"721\">Rose Wilder Lane<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/little-house-abridgements\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"726\">Little House Abridgements<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/little-house-extensions\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"723\">Little House Extensions<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/additional-sources\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"659\">Additional Sources<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Screen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Little House on the Prairie<\/em> (1974\u20131983)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Young Pioneers<\/em> (1976\u20131978)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Beyond the Prairie<\/em> (1998, 2001)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Laura Ingalls Wilder\u2019s Little House on the Prairie<\/em> (2005)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Little House on the Prairie<\/em> (2026\u2013)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">About the Site Owner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Benjamin Lefebvre<\/a> received his Ph.D. in English from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.
