The family includes mother Caroline Ingalls, father Charles Ingalls, elder daughter Mary Amelia Ingalls, and younger daughter (and protagonist), Laura Ingalls Wilder. The story of the first book in the series, Little House in the Big Woods, revolves around the life of the Ingalls family in their small home near Pepin, Wisconsin. Some other writers have also written books about Laura and her relatives. The books have been made many times into movies and television series. It is one part of series of books about Wilder's childhood in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Kansas during the late 19th century. I just wish they'd filmed it in the past 5 years so my son could've been part of it.Little House on the Prairie is a book written by Laura Ingalls Wilder in 1935. I came here to post because I saw that the first season of Little House is coming out and I would love for others to benefit. Overlook the discrepancies that were mentioned here and you won't be sorry you took the chance. Not even the Waltons can top this one, and I love that show. :o) If you want a wholesome show that the family will love and will benefit from, this is it. They brought to light many situations and the best solutions to them and in most cases no one was ever hurt(unless an emotional learning experience). I'm 41 now and I was growing up watching this show and I just wonder how in the world could a parent NOT want their child to watch something like that? I learned so much from the storylines, and they taught me the meaning of goodness and purity. She remains one of my favorite actors to this day. Melissa Gilbert is a pro and I absolutely adore her work. I've been part of filming many times and I can tell you honestly that Michael Landon would have been a dream to work with. I've noticed some of the things that were mentioned but so what? What's wrong with showing emotion and crying? What's the problem with bringing new characters on for just one episode? That's the way shows are done, which should be obvious to all adults by now - if they've watched at least, well.*anything* in film. I've also read the negative comments and I have none.
