The final instalment, The First Four Years, about Laura's first years of marriage, was published posthumously in 1971. The series has charmed, engaged and fascinated readers since Little House in the Big Woods was published in 1932. The seven books document her roving pioneer childhood, where home can be a covered wagon, a log cabin, a shanty, a dug-out, rooms over a store or a hotel. The Little House books, which start when Laura is two and end when she is 22, have sold millions of copies and been translated into almost 40 languages. The dedication in Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography, is "for generations of readers inspired by Laura Ingalls Wilder's life and work". It is written for everyone who grew up loving Laura Ingalls Wilder's classic Little House books about her pioneer childhood in the US of the 1880s.
