Inspired By Her Childhood
“The spirit of the frontier was one of humor and cheerfulness no matter what happened,” Laura once said, “It shines through all the volumes of my children’s novel.” If you still have no idea where the author received her inspiration for the series, let us reiterate that she based it on her childhood. Each volume reveals a new perspective of her life as a young girl. The single exception would be Farmer Boy, the second book, as it focused on Almanzo’s childhood instead. Every book in the series told a story, and they were actually more non-fiction than most stuff we find in the newspapers these days.

This is nothing unusual in the arts as many musicians make albums about specific points in their life. This is a chance to learn more about the artist on a more personal level! However, we still do not know if this was what Laura had in mind. Nonetheless, Little House in the Big Woods practically outlines their time in Wisconsin, On the Banks of Plum Creek revolves around their days in Minnesota, and Little House on the Prairie details her stay in Kansas.
