Editorial Reviews

For all serious scholars of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her legacy, Miranda A. Green-Barteet and Anne K. Phillips have put together a useful collection of essays that reconsider Wilder's connections to truth, the American Dream, diverse cultures, and American literature itself. The essays are highly readable, and Christiane E. Farnan's article on Wilder in the American studies classroom with its comparison of contemporary texts is outstanding.

Nancy Tystad Koupal, director of the Pioneer Girl Project

Reconsidering Laura Ingalls Wilder: Little House and Beyond is an appealing, well-executed collection that will be of much service to those interested in Wilder's work and influence.
