February 5, 2015 – A never-before-released autobiography of children’s author Laura Ingalls Wilder has become a surprise hit for a small South Dakota publisher. Pioneer Girl, written in 1930, is the first draft of her reminiscences before her story was “edited and romanticized,” according to the South Dakota Historical Society Press. The book is a candid picture of 19th century rural life in America’s Midwest. Wilder’s 11-volume “Little House on the Prairie” series, originally published between 1932 and 1943, has never gone out of print.
