A letter from author Wilder to her young fans, & addresses of the present-day museums offer readers the option of further digging into the rich historic background of the "Little House" literature. As seen in BOOKLIST (12/15/89), Denise Wilms "This photographic guide to the houses of Laura Ingalls Wilder & her family shows interiors & exteriors of many of the dwellings & their surroundings while brief captions describe the scenes. One striking double-page spread features a reproduction of an Ingalls family photographic portrait, & an enduring letter from Laura herself ends the presentation; interesting enough, her words speak as strongly to today's children as to those of earlier generations. Add it to the Wilder memorabilia shelves."Anderson, William T. is the author of 'Little House Country: A Photo Guide to the Homesites of Laura Ingalls Wilder' with ISBN 9780961008888 and ISBN 0961008881.
