New book in the works! Yes, it is THE SELECTED LETTERS OF LAURA INGALLS WILDER, to be published by Harper Collins on March 8, 2016. The book is a perfect sequel to the Little House books, as the hundreds of letters printed in this volume span the years 1894-1956. Most of them were written by Laura right here on Rocky Ridge Farm, at her desk in the tiny writing study of the farmhouse. Wilder biographer William Anderson studied over 400 existing letters of Laura's--written to family, friends, editors, and her reading public. From this rich collection of her written words, we learn about her adult life-- as a farmer's wife, a mother, friend, business woman, and finally, author. There are some surprises in this book, which are bound to be of much interest to those who have wanted to know about the grown-up Laura. As far as known, there are no more major unpublished writings of Laura left of book-length caliber, so this is likely the final volume to be published posthumously. As editor, William Anderson researched historical references to people, places and situations mentioned in the letters, carefully annotating much of the correspondence. SELECTED LETTERS will be available direct from Rocky Ridge Farm, and excitingly--from our new book store, which opens a week before the book's release. Price is $26.99, 418 pages.

I will be buying this book!!!

Nice!.

Awesome.

I HAVE THIS WONDERFUL BOOK!!! It wasn't written by Laura, but about her and her life.  I even posted Laura's life in the thread below.  If there was ever a book you wanted to add to your Little House collection, I highly recommend this one!

"Here is a perfect gift for the holiday season! THE WORLD OF LITTLE HOUSE by Carolyn Strom Collins and Christina Wyss Ericksson, has been re-released by Harper Collins. The book is filled with fascinating topics---recipes, information on Wilder museums, biographical facts and history, and even floor plans of the various "little houses." There are 150 color illustrations, including many of Garth Williams' iconic images. Buy a copy for a Little House reader--or yourself--at the Christmas at Rocky Ridge Farm event December 4th. Or order a copy from the Museum bookstore. (Order soon--we want to insure timely delivery!) This book is highly recommended. Price: 29.99."

Is the text of this book updated from the last edition, or is it just a new cover?

I'm not sure...just says it is being re-released....

From everything I see I think it is simply a re-release under a new cover.

I just pre-ordered The Selected Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Can't wait to read it!

They would be neat books to read

I have that book, Rhonda! I still need to find the time to read it though...

'Yes, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home museum store accepts phone orders for THE SELECTED LETTERS OF LAURA INGALLS WILDER and all our books and merchandise. The number to call is 417-924 3626. The book will be out and available next week....The image you see is an early 1960s postcard of Laura's desk in her writing study. She describes the room in her letter of September 16, 1940 in the new book. Imagine her writing her books on her lined tablets, or answering thousands of fan letters! The Harvey Dunn print "Something for Supper" over Laura's desk was not something she had there. Before the museum was built, the little study doubled as a display room for photos and documents. The Dunn print was simply a display item.'

I canceled my pre-order for The selected Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder, because I am going to buy it on the 12th at William Anderson's book signing!

I got William Anderson's new book, The Selected Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder, today at his book signing! It was great getting to meet him! Here is a picture of the signed book!

That is very cool

Thank you, Krissy!

You're welcome.

Nice, Matthew!  Congratulations!  Mr. Anderson has excellent penmanship.

Thank you, and he sure does! He signed two other books for me too!

William Anderson has written a new book...a compilation of some of Laura's letters:
