Dear Laura: Letters from Children to Laura Ingalls Wilder

Between the publication of Little House in the Big Woods in 1932 and her death in 1957, Laura Ingalls Wilder received countless admiring letters from schoolchildren, more than 100 of which have been collected in Dear Laura: Letters from Children to Laura Ingalls Wilder. Included at the end is a general letter Wilder wrote to answer many of the questions posed by her young correspondents. (HarperCollins, $16.95 ages 8-up ISBN 0-06-026274-5, Feb.)
