Rose Wilder Lane inherited ownership of the "Little House" literary estate for her lifetime only, all rights reverting to the Mansfield library after her death, according to her mother's will. After her death in 1968, Lane's heir, Roger MacBride, gained control of the copyrights. MacBride was Lane's informally-adopted grandson, as well as her business agent, attorney, and heir. All of MacBride's actions carried Lane's apparent approval. In fact, at Lane's request, the copyrights to each of the "Little House" books, as well as those of Lane's own literary works, had been renewed in MacBride's name when the original copyrights expired during the decade between Wilder's and Lane's deaths.

Controversy did not come until after MacBride's death in 1995, when the Laura Ingalls Wilder Branch of the Wright County Library (which Wilder helped found) in Mansfield, Missouri, decided it was worth trying to recover the rights. The ensuing court case was settled in an undisclosed manner, but MacBride's heirs retained the rights. The library received enough to start work on a new building.

The immortal Subodhi teaches Sun Wukong all sorts of skills, chief among them are the 72 Heavenly Transformations and Cloud-Jumping. Seventy-two is the sum of 8 and 9 multiplied which, in Asian numerology, represent "everything" and "infinity," respectfully. This means 72 is simply used to denote an infinite number of transformations. Using this power, he can transform into anything one can image, including bugs, animals, or buildings, or taking on the likeness of humans, demons, or celestials. Cloud-Jumping is a type of flying wherein he jumps from cloud to cloud propelling himself much faster than what a normal celestial would be able to go in the same amount of time. On top of this, the immortal teaches him various magical spells and martial arts. The time spent inside of Laozi's 8 Trigrams Furnace gives his eyes the ability to see for very long distances. His eyes can also see the negative aura of demons if they are disguised as trusted figures. He is immensely strong, possibly as a result of his immortality. Sun can handle his 18,000 pound iron cudgel with ease, and he comfortably bears the weight of two mountains dropped on him by an enemy during one adventure. He is extremely tough, so tough that even heavenly weapons cannot harm him. In addition, he is given three magical hairs by the Bodhisattva Guanyin. He can transform these into anything he likes. He can also chew his normal hair and spit them out to create an entire army of little monkeys to do his bidding. Sun can also empower other people. In one adventure, he gives super strength to three humans and teaches them martial arts. Last, but certainly not least, he is a formidable fighter. Not even the entire heavenly army is his match.
