Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the Little House on the Prairie Books.

She's one of the most important American children's authors of the 20th century.

Inspiration for a hit television show.

Women will come up to me crying saying,

What I found is a complicated person alongside the complicated country she represents.

I'm Glinnis McNickel and this is Wilder.

The number one podcast, Lost Hills is Back with Season 3, The Dark Prince.
