Along the way, authors William T. Anderson, Caroline Fraser, Michael Patrick Hearn, Elizabeth Jameson, Sallie Ketcham, Amy Mattson Lauters, John E. Miller, Paula M. Nelson, and Ann Romines explore the relationship between Wilder and her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, as well as their path to the Little House novels. Editor Nancy Tystad Koupal also includes an interview with Little House Heritage Trust representative Noel Silverman, who has worked with Wilder\u2019s works for over forty-five years, and annotates Wilder\u2019s 1937 speech about the Little House series given at the Detroit book fair.<\/p>\n<p>This rich source book from these Wilder scholars from across North America will also explore, among other topics, the interplay of folklore in the <em>Little House <\/em>novels, women\u2019s place on the American frontier, Rose Wilder Lane\u2019s writing career, the strange episode of the Benders in Kansas, Wilder\u2019s midwestern identity, and society\u2019s ideas of childhood.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The website for The Pioneer Girl Project posted a major update today announcing the forthcoming publication, in May 2017 and by South Dakota Historical Society&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[23],"class_list":["post-474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book","tag-nancy-tystad-koupal"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=474"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/474\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/benjaminlefebvre.com\/littlehouse\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
