At The Center Of Each And Every Novel
The events depicted in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series are based on the experiences of the Ingalls family after they moved to Wisconsin from Kansas. However, even though Laura’s character is shown to be four years old in Wisconsin, she was a minor child
in Kansas and a somewhat older child when she moved back to Wisconsin at the age of seven.
It was hard to believe that a child as young as three or four could have such clear and distinct recollections of the setting for the novels that she had written.
