The Ghost in the Little House: A Life of Rose Wilder Lane (Volume 1) (Missouri Biography Series) - Softcover
Synopsis
Laura Ingalls Wilder is one of the most beloved children’s authors of all time, but William Holtz contends that she may not have been the sole author of the Little House series that bore her name. While Laura’s life did serve as the inspiration for the books, Holtz believes that her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, actually took her mother’s memoirs and refurbished them into the novels that would be read by millions. In this captivating biography, Holtz chronicles Rose’s life from childhood, to travels abroad that began at age seventeen, and finally back home to Missouri in her mid-thirties where she would fine tune her mother’s writing. Holtz does not write to expose Laura as a fraud, but instead The Ghost in the Little House explains that Laura’s books were more of a collaborative effort than anyone knew."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
From the Back Cover
'Holtz's book makes clear for the first time that (Lane) achieved something important and lasting in her writing with the Little House books. His argument about the collaboration between the two women is entirely convincing, and the next time I see the Little House series on the shelf at the bookstore, I'll imagine Rose Wilder Lane's name next to her mother's on their covers.'--Los Angeles Times Book Review
About the Author

He is a Professor of English at the University of Missouri-Columbia. His work on Lane's biography was aided by a Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
