Series: The Little House on the Prairie

The classic and ultimate edition of the original tales by Laura Ingalls Wilder about life on the frontier and America’s best-loved pioneer family. With a stunning new cover look and classic inside illustrations from Garth Williams – now the inspiration for a brand new and much-anticipated Netflix show.

Inside the little house in the Big Woods live the Ingalls family: Ma, Pa, Mary, Laura and baby Carrie. Outside the little house are the wild animals: the bears and the bees, the deer and the wolves. This is the classic tale of how they live together, in harmony mostly, but sometimes in fear …

The timeless stories that both inspired a TV series that captured the hearts of so many and now form the inspiration for a brand new major Netflix show, for which a second season has already been commissioned, can now be read by a new generation of children. Readers who loved Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, and Heidi will be swept up by this timeless rural coming-of-age saga. Perfect escapism for readers aged 8+. With stunning new covers from acclaimed artist Joanna Lisoweic and original beautiful inside illustrations by Garth Williams, illustrator of E.B. White's Charlotte’s Web.

Laura Ingalls Wilder Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in Wisconsin in 1867. Her family moved around, travelling from Missouri to Kansas, Minnesota and back to Wisconsin. Eventually the family settled in De Smet, Dakota Territory and Laura worked regularly as a seamstress and teacher. She stopped working when she married Almanzo Wilder in 1885. Little House in the Big Woods was first published in 1932, Little House on the Prairie in 1935, and five more books in the Little House series followed. Laura also wrote Farmer Boy about her husband's childhood, and three more books were published posthumously. Laura was five times the recipient of the Newbery Honor Award for her distinguished contribution to American literature for children: On the Banks of Plum Creek (1938), By the Shores of Silver Lake (1940), The Long Winter (1941), Little Town on the Prairie (1942), These Happy Golden Years (1944). The books are charmingly illustrated with Garth Williams' black and white drawings from the 1953 editions.
