"It is like a fairyland." So Laura Ingalls Wilder described her 1915 voyage to San Francisco to visit her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane. Laura's husband, Almanzo, was unable to leave their Missouri farm and it is her faithful letters home, vividly describing every detail of her journey, that have been gathered here. Includes 24 pages of exciting photographs and completely redesigned jacket art.
Published for the first time, Mrs. Wilder's letters to her husband describe her trip from Mansfield, Missouri, to San Francisco during the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. Illustrated with photos.
Discovered after her death, these letters--written by Wilder to her husband when she left the Midwest to visit San Francisco--convey a vivid sense of the period, and a similar charm to that found in her classic series. Ages 8-12. (Sept.) Copyright 1989 Cahners Business Information.
