In all of our research for this show, one of the scholars who has most influenced our thinking on Laura and her work is Caroline Fraser, author of the Pulitzer Prize winning biography, Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Laura obsessives know that Prairie Fires is the motherload when it comes to understanding Laura's life. It provides a detailed historical account of her childhood and takes a holistic look at the fraught personal and working relationship that Laura had with her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane. As we put together our final episode, we've been revisiting Caroline's book and the amazing interview we did with her. Today, we wanted to share the extended interview with you, as a deeper dive into Laura's life, and to help set the scene before Glynnis comes to some big conclusions in our series finale.

From the archives- 2018- Caroline Fraser discusses her award-winning book "Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder."

Christian Science by Mark Twain audiobook. Christian Science is a 1907 collection of essays Mark Twain wrote about Christian Science, beginning with an article that was published in Cosmopolitan in 1899. Although Twain was interested in mental healing and the ideas behind Christian Science, he was hostile towards its founder, Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910). He called her, according to American writer Caroline Fraser, "[g]rasping, sordid, penurious, famishing for everything she sees—money, power, glory—vain, untruthful, jealous, despotic, arrogant, insolent, pitiless where thinkers and hypnotists are concerned, illiterate, shallow, incapable of reasoning outside of commercial lines, immeasurably selfish."

Såväl tv-serien som böckerna av Laura Ingalls Wilder har trollbundit en enorm publik genom åren. Vad känns lockande än i dag och vad har förlorat sin glans? Följ med P1 Kultur ut på prärien. Med böckerna om det lilla huset på prärien blev Laura Ingalls Wilder en av USAs mest inflytelserika författare. De åtta romanerna om nybyggarlivet skrevs mellan 1932 och 1943 och lär ha sålt i 60 miljoner exemplar. Äventyren är många och livet är hårt ute på prärien där vi får följa en gudfruktig familj som aldrig ger upp och som kan skapa fest ur ingenting. Vem var författaren Laura Ingalls Wilder? Hur nära hennes eget liv ligger böckerna? Hur är det att läsa dem i dag, vad känns förlegat eller kontroversiellt? Vad är det som fortfarande är lockande? P1 Kulturs Gunnar Bolin och Jenny Teleman läser Lilla huset-böckerna tillsammans med förlagsredaktören Tove Larsmo. I programmet nämns även Prairie fires: The american dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder av Caroline Fraser. Förlagsredaktören och bibliotekarien Alle Eriksson avslöjar hur populära böckerna egentligen är bland låntagarna på biblioteken och vilken sorts bild av den amerikanska prärien som kommit att prägla läsarna och tv-tittarna. Det blir både nostalgi och kritik när P1 Kultur lever livet på prärien. Programledare: Gunnar Bolin Producenter: Maria Götselius och Anna Tullberg

I had some other examples in mind, but did not speak them. Developing them was not relevant to the discussion, nor was discussing in more depth the logic of the situation. But "priming the pump"of memory and thought is something we all could do more. It is an important thinking skill. Note: philosophies of science based on the work of Plato, Kant, Descartes, Dewey, Kuhn, Popper are fundamentally wrong. Science is not essentially deductive. It is not "above and beyond" experience or anything like that. Science is the inductive, integrated understanding of that nature of things and their cause-effect relationships. It is founded on and developed out of the evidence of the senses.Picture and bio courtesy Janet Pesaturo.

Caroline Fraser shares the real-life story behind Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" books. David Owen explains why we should value our hearing more. Tom Mole claims books have a life of their own. Alex Johnson takes us to "book towns" that have become havens for everything book-related.

Are you an interactive journal fan? Unfamiliar with them? We talk with author Paula Spencer Scott about how a love of writing can help foster a love of reading and how to use interactive journals to strengthen our bonds with our children in interactive journaling in the new year with Paula Spencer Scott. This week we are joined by Paula Spencer Scott, author and co-author of more than a dozen books. Her work includes Surviving Alzheimer's and The Happiest Toddler on the Block and four different interactive journals. One of her journals, Like Mother, Like Daughter: A Discovery Journal for the Two of Us was a joint project with her own daughter, Page Spencer. She put all this knowledge and experience to work raising her and her husband’s six children and we are so glad she joined us to chat about all of this! In this episode we talk about: 1. “Writing is a skill deeply fused with reading.” The two skills go hand-in-hand, but we often overlook the writing part of the equation at home with our families. 2. Interactive journals are a great way to start incorporating writing time into your family time. These journals provide you with prompts to get you started and some, like two of the ones Paula has written, are designed for two people to write together. We talk about the bonding experience of reading together, but these journals can create a bonding experience through writing! 3. Paula has seen many benefits come from keeping a journal in her and her kids’ lives. Anything you do longhand is great for fine motor skills practice. Journaling helps kids become closer observers of what is going on around themIt creates a time capsule where you can go back and remember what happens in their lives and how they change.Emotional benefits- it is a safe place to vent, use their imaginations, set goals, work through how life works and social systems. 4. Another great idea Paula gave us is to do vacation journals. She would give her kids blank books for trips they took for them to write their stories and create a momento. This adds a whole new level of using books when you travel! 5. Paula reminds us that journals should be fun! Have special colored markers or a book they pick out themselves. Don’t correct their grammar or spelling- the important thing is that they are just doing it! 6. Along with keeping journals, Paula had some other great ideas to write more at home with our kids. She suggested letting our kids see us use our skills and write things down, even when we could do the task using a device. Have a dedicated writing space with fun pencils, colored paper, dry erase boards or chalkboards. Using sidewalk chalk to write. Have your kids write thank you notes or birthday cards. Her kids loved creating and writing scavenger hunts for each other.  Paula left us with a great idea of how to get started on putting these great ideas into practice this week. She invited us to pick a fun book together with your child, whether it’s an interactive journal or just a blank notebook, get a couple of fun pens and start with a question to them. Once they write their answer, have them write a question for you to answer. For younger kids, ask them the questions and write their answers and responding questions for them. Interactive Journaling in the New Year We are so grateful to Paula for taking the time to talk with us! More information about her, her books and her journals can be found in the following places: Websites: Paula Spencer Scott's website You can find Paula's interactive journals along with others at her publisher's website, Peter Pauper Press.

Jonathon Van Maren speaks to several people who knew the real Laura Ingalls Wilder, Almanzo Wilder, and Rose Wilder Lane--decades ago, when the Wilders lived in Mansfield, Missouri. This podcast began as research for a review of Caroline Fraser's new book Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder: https://thebridgehead.ca/2019/09/09/what-you-didnt-know-about-the-real-laura-ingalls-wilder/

This week's episode features highlights from a panel from the 2019 BIO Conference, “Fire Up Your Narrative,” with moderator Linda Leavell and panelists John A. Farrell, Ruth Franklin, Caroline Fraser,  […]

For nearly 100 years, the “Little House” books (and the subsequent television series) have been cherished by kids and adults around the world. Millions of children have aspired to be like Laura Ingalls, a pioneer girl who courageously helped her family start new farms across the Midwest - planting, harvesting, hunting, and fighting blizzards. The story of Ingalls’ family was based on the real-life adventures of Laura Ingalls Wilder, but Wilder’s real childhood was much harsher. As a child, Wilder endured “an almost brutal lifestyle,” according to Caroline Fraser, a Pulitzer-Prize winning writer, and author of the book “Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder.” On this week’s show, Fraser talks to us about how Wilder reinvented American history, recast her own life, and what the books - and controversy over them - has to teach us.

Millions of readers of Little House on the Prairie believe they know Laura Ingalls―the pioneer girl who survived blizzards and near-starvation on the Great Plains, and the woman who wrote the famous autobiographical books. But the true saga of her life has never been fully told. Now, drawing on unpublished manuscripts, letters, diaries, and land and financial records, Caroline Fraser―the editor of the Library of America edition of the Little House series―masterfully fills in the gaps in Wilder's biography. Revealing the grown-up story behind the most influential childhood epic of pioneer life, she also chronicles Wilder's tumultuous relationship with her journalist daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, setting the record straight regarding charges of ghostwriting that have swirled around the books.

In this week's episode, we interview Caroline Fraser, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder. This interview was recorded during BIO's May 2018 annual conference in […]

In 1935, Rose Wilder Lane, the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, was at a crossroads in her life. Financially, she had weathered the low points of the Great Depression but still found herself on unstable ground after orchestrating the construction of a new building called the Rock House on her family's Mansfield property. Personally, the relationship between Rose and her mother had grown especially strained. In this More Missouri Moments mini-episode of the Our Missouri Podcast, Caroline Fraser, our guest from "Episode 2: Prairie Fires," takes us to the summer of 1935 when Rose Wilder Lane moved into the Tiger Hotel in Columbia and began work on what would become an unsuccessful book project about Missouri history.

Once upon a time, sixty years ago (now nearly 150 years ago), a little girl lived in the Big Woods of Wisconsin, in a little gray house made of logs.  With that opening scene, Laura Ingalls Wilder launched the Little House book series that eventually became a key piece of American culture. But, did you know, that despite her stories of little houses on the prairies of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, and the Dakota Territory, Laura Ingalls Wilder actually spent a majority of her life in the tiny town of Mansfield, Missouri?  This episode features Pulitzer Prize-winning author Caroline Fraser talking to us about her recent book, Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder. In her award-winning book, Fraser provides a stunning account of the events that not only shaped Laura Ingalls Wilder's life but also inspired her later literary masterpieces. About the Guest: Caroline Fraser holds a PhD in English and American Literature from Harvard University. She is the author of God's Perfect Child: Living and Dying in the Christian Science Church and Rewilding the World: Dispatches from the Conservation Revolution. Additionally, she served as editor of the Library of America edition of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books.

Caroline Fraser just won the Pulitzer Prize for biography for her new book, Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder. For those who read the Little House books, you’ll remember the tales of a loving family on the American frontier. What’s behind the scenes is the extraordinary destruction wrought by settlers—both to the native inhabitants of the land and to the land itself, resulting in drought, crop failure, insect infestations, and ultimately the Dust Bowl. This riveting biography offers a deep look at a family of smart, courageous, and loving people caught up in a bigger historical process.
