Who is taking the Laura Ingalls Wilder class from MSU?

Interesting ... Barnes and Noble notes Laura Ingalls Wilder's Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Edition won't be released until November 15.

I would love to know too! Maybe my DD#3 and I can take it together. She now cannot head to college as she has buldging discs in her back that need to be taken care of. This could be a good thing for us. Would love info. Thanks!

Looks like you can get the two non-Wilder books at Amazon.. I think I will get the Kindle versions now...

I'm enrolled but the reading list isn't there when I log in - weird. I have all the LIW books, I'll see what else I can pick up between now and end of September when the class starts.

I am signed up, off to look for the books.

you should also read The Wilder Life...woman follows all the books to their locations, tries stuff in the books, and looks at the reality vs the books. really good.

I just signed up for the LIW class and also the Ozarks History class. My dad grew up in the same county that LIW lived in and we used to pass by her farm on the way to my grandmother's house. Laura died a year after my grandmother died, so she was living there and we were driving past her house and I didn't know it.

I recently re-bought the entire set, but haven't read any of the other ones (or if I did, it's been years). I know I've read some about her 'real' life, but don't remember much of it. My LIW knowledge is more from driving through Wisconsin, Lake Pepin (where the Little HOuse in the Big Woods was). Never been to the museum there, though. Not sure if I'd be up for a real 'literature' course- it's been way too long since I've been in ANY classroom setting, lol, but I might check out the other books and see.

My school library only had about 3 of her books, but I read them all. I know I read Little House in the Big Woods, On the Banks of Plum Creek, and The Long Winter. My daughter got into them in 4th grade and read them all. Later, I reread the 3 I knew plus the others, and later still, when I was working as a Children's Public Librarian, I planned a unit for the home-schoolers I called, "No WalMart on the Prairie" and used her books as a jumping off point. I reread them all again. Then when my granddaughter got old enough to read them, I gave her her mother's set and then wished I had some of my own, so I purchased them at Half Price books until I had once again the whole set, at which time I read them again. I have visited her home in Mansfield 3 times, and in 1996 my sister-in-law and I visited the sites of the Little Houses in Kansas, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, making a loop of the midwest. If I've already told that story, I apologize for repeating myself. I have also read Susan Wittig Albert's book A Wilder Rose, which details the role her daughter had in helping her write and publish the Little House books.
