What Type Of Books Did Laura Ingalls Wilder Write?

Answer 1

Yes. She was a teacher and quit just before she got married to Almanzo Wilder (married women could not legally be teachers at that time, strange as it seems to us now). Later she became a writer and wrote eight Children's Books.

Answer 2

Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote a series of books called the Little House books, which are semi-autobiographical stories based on her childhood experiences growing up on the American frontier in the late 19th century. The most famous book in the series is "Little House on the Prairie."

Answer 3

It all started from a letter, from her daughter, Rose. Rose was a writer in the pioneer days as Laura would say. Laura told Rose all about her childhood. Rose wanted her mother to write about it in books.

Answer 4

Laura's books were semi-autobiographical historical fiction. Told in the third person, they reflect many incidents and people of her life, but are not literally true as written in all details. Laura compressed characters, juxtaposed events and so forth, in the interest of good storytelling.

Laura did have a typewriter, but she wrote all of her books in longhand on lined tablet paper.
