Order of Laura Ingalls Wilder Books

Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867-1957) was an American author known for the Little House series, a collection of children's novels inspired by her experiences growing up in a pioneer family. Prior to her success as a novelist, Laura worked as a teacher and on the family farm. The Little House series has been adapted multiple times, most notably into a television show that aired from 1974 to 1983, followed by movie sequels. Laura was encouraged to write the series by her daughter Rose, and there is debate over whether Rose acted as a ghostwriter or simply motivated her mother to create Little House in the Big Woods, published in 1932. The most well-known book in the series, Little House on the Prairie, was released three years later. Below is a list of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books in the order of their original publication and in chronological order.
