Plot summary

Laura Ingalls Wilder: Prairie to Page presents an unvarnished look at the unlikely author whose autobiographical fiction helped shape American ideas of the frontier and self-reliance. A Midwestern farm woman who published her first novel at age 65, Laura Ingalls Wilder transformed her frontier childhood into the best-selling “Little House” series. The documentary delves into the legacy of the iconic pioneer as well as the way she transformed her early life into enduring legend, a process that involved a little-known collaboration with her daughter Rose.

Too Overly Critical

Very informative documentary about Laura's life and her books that she wrote It's okay for what it is BUT I felt like most of the people talking about Laura were too critical of the things she left out of her books As Laura herself put it: "I wrote the truth but not all of the truth" I mean I don't think she would have been a successful children's writer if she wrote about hard times like her baby brother dying or living in poverty I'm pretty confident that I certainly wouldn't want to read about that as a kid It would have turned me off to reading her books and I can't imagine very many parents would want their kids to read that either I don't know watch it if you're interested in learning about the truth of her life But I don't think it paints a very flattering picture of the woman she really was or was not It feels more they're pushing their own personal agendas and beliefs.

Why do I care about the commentator's opinions on FDR???

This whole thing was filled with self-important 21st century people sitting in judgement of 19th century people and events without taking the intervening 150 years into account and it REALLY annoyed me! I love the Little House books and wanted to learn more about Laura Ingalls Wilder, but along with that, I got a whole lot of unwanted crap from a bunch of supposed experts who are probably the same people who petitioned to have Wilder's name removed from the Laura Ingalls Wilder Children's Book Award. They keep going on about how inaccurate the books are, but seem to be completely unaware of what the word "fiction" means. They could have cut out most of their moralizing and stupid comments and the show would have been very enjoyable. Some people need to learn to recognize the differences between what is worth getting all bent out of shape over and what is something to learn from and move on from. If a little girl being fascinated by the dark eyes of a baby hurts you for 50 years, you really need to move on and find something more important to get worked up about! Whoever wrote this obviously hasn't learned that lesson and I wish they would learn that before they make any more documentaries.
