The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder Documentary

Laura Ingalls Wilder's first Little House book was published in 1932. Followed by eight additional books in her series, Little House books have never been out of print. The timeless classics appeal to audiences all over the world and have been translated into over forty languages. Many resources have been created for fans of Laura's pioneer books over the years, and now we have a new favorite: Little House on the Prairie: The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
New documentary: The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Little House on the Prairie: The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder (affiliate link) is a new documentary filled with information about Laura Ingalls Wilder. Dean Butler, who played Almanzo in the LHOP television series, hosts and directs the hour of interviews, reenactments, and historical photographs and imagery and an additional 35 minutes of bonus materials. Little House fans go behind-the-scenes (and behind-the-books) to learn about the real life of Laura. 

The combination of video, photographs, book illustrations, and new illustrations take the viewer back in time to Laura's childhood and adult life. The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder is an exceptional documentary full of imagery and information; it is ideal for fans of Little House. It goes beyond the Little House books and tells the whole story of the life of Laura.

I highly recommend Little House on the Prairie: The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder

If you have read much about Laura, you may recognize some of the people who are interviewed in The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Pamela Hill Smith (who annotated the LIW's autobiography Pioneer Girl) and William Anderson (author of many books about LIW) are both interviewed. Author and illustrator Cheryl Harness captures the pioneer stories with new illustrations made just for the documentary. (Links are to my reviews.)

Interested? I hope you are! View the documentary's trailer at the new Little House on the Prairie website, which is a great resource. While there, be sure to enter the Prize Package Giveaway.
