Little House on the Prairie (1935) is an autobiographical novel written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. It is the third book in the “Little House” series, which tells the story of the author’s childhood living on the American frontier in the late 19th century. The series was adapted into a popular American television family drama, also called Little House on the Prairie, that aired on NBC for nine seasons (1974–83). The show was loosely based on the “Little House” series and ranked among the top programs during its run. A new adaptation of the series debuted in July 2026 on Netflix.
