Laura first started writing, when Rose kept asking her for stories of the pioneer days.  When she was sixty-five, she published her first book entitled Little House in the Big Woods in 1932.  Then she wrote more books about when she was a little girl and that led to her series.  Not all of her books were about her childhood.  In 1933, she published her second book entitled Farmer Boy.  Her third and fourth books that were published in 1937 and 1939, are entitled Little House on the Prairie and The Bank of Plum Creek.  In the years 1939 between 1941, three of her books were published which were The Shores of Silver Lake, The Long Winter, and The Town on the Prairie.  Her last book was published in 1943 entitled These Happy Golden Years.  These books are based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's life.  Also the characters in her books include Mary, Carrie, Grace, her sisters, her ma and pa, her husband, and her daughter, Rose.
