Talk:List of Little House on the Prairie books

Other books by Laura

Can we count (and so write about them) the following books as books by Laura (if we do this with "One the Way Home" and "West from Home", then why not?). I think that at least in case of The Road Back, we should.

• The Road Back, highlighting Laura's previously unpublished record of a 1931 trip with Almanzo to De Smet, South Dakota, and the Black Hills (it's now a part of A Little House Traveler: Writings from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Journeys Across America , see: Amazon)
• Writings to Young Women from Laura Ingalls Wilder on Wisdom and Virtues, (see : Empik)
• Laura Ingalls Wilder, Farm Journalist: Writings from the Ozarks , (see : Empik)
• Writings to Young Women on Laura Ingalls Wilder as Told by Her Family, Friends, and Neighbors, (see : Empik),
• Writings to Young Women from Laura Ingalls Wilder - Volume Two: On Life as a Pioneer Woman, (see : Empik)

Setting The setting is in the US (Midwest)

Farmer Boy

I just added a section for Farmer Boy. I realize that it is different from the other books in focus but Ingalls Wilder wrote it as part of the series. Therefore, I feel it should be included. Please do not remove it. If you feel it shouldn't be there, please explain why.Hippychick (talk) 20:48, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Certainly it should be included. I added notes, here and in the main series article, regarding Farmer Boy as volume 2 -- or not. --P64 (talk) 00:54, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Biographical works not found

After greatly expanding the biographical works from WorldCat catalog records --both expanding our listings and adding at least 14 new listings-- I deleted three that I did not find at WorldCat.

• Emma Carlson Berne and Nicole Elzenga, Laura Ingalls Wilder
• Jeanne Clidas and Wil Mara, Laura Ingalls Wilder
• Kyle Zimmer [not Kyle Zimmer ] and Amy Sickels, Laura Ingalls Wilder

These are half-matches, or near duplications, of three other listings that I expanded.

• Emma Carlson Berne, Laura Ingalls Wilder
• Wil Mara, Laura Ingalls Wilder
• Amy Sickels, Laura Ingalls Wilder

Some of Elzenga, Clidas, and Zimmer may be illustrators, photographers, series editors, etc, not credited in the catalog records I consulted. --P64 (talk) 23:53, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

More on cultural impact

The introduction seems to focus too much on explaining what books fit this term, and totally misses and discussion of the cultural impact of these works. Considering that there are books that have mainly considered the latter question, I would say we should edit the lead to address that issue.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:24, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
