About this ebook
Like millions of other young fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series, Meribah Knight dreamed of visiting the places Laura described so vividly in the books. For Meribah, her dream came true when she and her family made a pilgrimage to the veloved sites – the big woods, the banks of Plum Creek, the Little Town on the Prairie – places that had changed, but were still magically familiar. With text by Meribah and her mother, Newbery Honor author Kathryn Lasky, and full-color photographs by her father, Christopher G. Knight, the record of the Knights’ memorable journey is must reading for anyone planning a similar trip…and for everyone who wants an up-close-and-personal look at the settings of America’s most cherished pioneer saga.

About the author
Kathryn Lasky grew up in the suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana, with her father, her mother, and her big sister, Martha. She attended the University of Michigan and majored in English, becoming particularly interested in Victorian literature, Romanticism, and the Renaissance. After graduating, Lasky began working as a writer for a fashion magazine, though she later opted for a career as a teacher. While teaching, she met and married Christopher Knight, a National Geographic photographer and documentary filmmaker. Lasky began writing children’s books after returning from her second voyage across the Atlantic Ocean with her husband. She has since written many books for children, including fiction, nonfiction, and picture books, as well as several books for adults. Kathryn Lasky has two children and cites her family as the most important inspiration for her books. She lives with her husband in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
