Got 45 minutes to spare? When it comes to Laura, of course you do. Beyond Little House’s Sarah Uthoff and Amy Lauters were guest speakers today on Iowa Public Radio’s “Talk of Iowa” on a segment called “Laura Ingalls Wilder Remembered.”
I love how I learn something new every time I hear my favorite Laura experts speak. As terrified of public speaking as I am, I really notice the folks who do it well—and these women do. Especially on our favorite topic.
They talk about Rose’s role in the Little House books, Burr Oak (since it’s Iowa after all—and with a guest appearance by Burr Oak’s Steve Luse), and LauraPalooza, among other Laura-related topics. My favorite quote comes courtesy of Sarah: “The Little House books,” says Sarah, “are like an episode of the Simpsons.”
