Laura Elizabeth Ingalls was born February 7, 1867, in a little log house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin. Laura's childhood was spent traveling west by covered wagon, to Indian Territory in Kansas, to Grasshopper Country in Minnesota, and then to Dakota Territory, w she met and married Almanzo Wilder. Laura's daughter Rose grew up listening to her mother's stories of those pioneer days. She urged her mother to write them down so that other children could enjoy them, as well. So in the 1930s and 40s, Laura recorded her memories of those days of long ago in a children's series known as the "Little House"® books. Helen Moore Sewell, the original illustrator of the "Little House" books, was born in 1896 at Mare Island Navy Yard, California. Her family moved to Guam shortly afterward, w Helen grew up. The Sewell-illustrated editions of the "Little House" books went out of print in 1953, when Harper & Brothers (now HarperCollins Publishers) released the uniform edition of the books illustrated by Garth Williams. This is a VERY nice Scarce copy See more hard to find books in my sellers other auctions.
