Inspirational Quotes by Laura Ingalls Wilder (American Author of Children’s Novels)

Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867–1957) was an American author, famous for the Little House series of children’s novels based on her upbringing in pioneer America.

During Wilder’s childhood, her family moved around the American frontier frequently in search of land for farming. It was a hard life of manual labor—breaking ground, building homes, making clothes. When Wilder was sixty-three, her daughter urged her to write about her childhood reminiscences of the American West.

Little House in the Big Woods was released in 1932, and it was an unqualified success. She also wrote Little House on the Prairie (1935) and seven more volumes about growing up in pioneer America. Wilder’s books have remained in print since they were first published and have been translated extensively. Additionally, since her death, dozens of new different titles have appeared in the Little House series that she created, some of which have been adapted for TV and film.
