There has recently (fairly recently, anyway) been someone who has published her journals and some of the stories are quite terrifying. People self-immolating, abuse, murder, etc. Other than the overt racism that was taken as a matter of course when these were written, they are quite sanitized and child-friendly. I absolutely loved them as a kid, even if I am shocked by some of the things that I never noticed when reading them as a child. But, my favorite is The Farmer Boy. It reminds me of my grandparents and the way they would celebrate holidays.GKCfan wrote:I suggest that you look around for some of the books and articles about what Wilder left out of her books. It's very interesting and adds to the story, making the story more complex.

I keep meaning to read some of her journals since I knew she had to adapt some of what she wrote in the books for publication, but I didn't know about some of the darker details. Have any of these supplemental materials been published within new editions of the books?Kat Berg wrote: ↑22 Oct 2017, 19:50There has recently (fairly recently, anyway) been someone who has published her journals and some of the stories are quite terrifying.
