Aha! Found it---not I Remember Laura, but rather Little House in the Ozarks: The Rediscovered Writings (edited by Hines!). Chapter Four: Have you seen any fairies lately? ---several poems from the fairy book.

I know Laura wrote a collection of fairy poems which were published in a collection compiled by Stephen Hines in 1998: Laura Ingalls Wilder's Fairy Poems. But that doesn't seem likely to be the book described in your mother's letter. I'm wondering if they might have been mentioned in I Remember Laura, which Hines wrote. I have a copy of that somewhere---I'll take a peek at chapter 4!

Years ago my mother sent her sister a book by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The book was accompanied by a letter in which she references Chapter Four saying that this chapter is about fairies. I have the letter, but not the book. Can you suggest which book she might have given her sister?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, Paige! When a publisher allows a book to go out of print, it pretty much always means one thing: the book isn’t selling very well anymore. That’s why all those series went out of print. Of course it happened before social media took off, so if HarperCollins ever decides to bring them back (particularly as ebooks, which has been discussed but doesn’t seem to be happening anytime soon), we’d be able to give them a nice big push and I think they’d do very well.

You can sometimes find used copies on eBay or Amazon Marketplace, but they tend to be extremely expensive in those outlets. (I don’t get royalties on used book sales, so please know those prices don’t have anything to do with me.)

Why have the Martha, Charlotte, Caroline and Rose books gone out of print? As a huge fan of Laura’s books I read all the books and the books about her family. Now being older I want to purchase them all for my own collection as the libraries are getting rid of them. It does not help that I am Canadian and have a hell of a time of even finding them! Do you know of any places that still carries them?

Do you know of a character in the Little House books named “Champion”? My friend’s mother insists she named her son “Champion” after a character from the Little House books.

As a retired person I have more time to think about my favorite books the “Little House” series. I am currently reading the first book about Martha and wanted to know about the houses etc discribed in the book. This is a really neat website that puts the book into pictures:

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
