I just read Prarie Fires, basically a biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder and it was very interesting. How the stories came to be written, how much was fictionalized, and how the story was shaped to apeal to the target audience.

I just finished reading it last week and I have mixed feelings about recommending it. I feel it was well-researched but could tarnish the image many have of the author and her books.
