Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote a total of eight books in the Little House series. They have been considered the most realistic descriptions (描述）of nineteenth-century life on the American frontier(边界). The books have sold over sixty million copies worldwide, in more than forty languages.

Wilder's books tell about people and events that are based on her memories of growing up in Kansas and South Dakota in the middle of the 1800s. Pioneer(拓荒者）life has disappeared(消失) in those areas. Yet the music she grew up with is alive and well.

The Little House on the Prairietelevision series is perhaps the best—known version of the Laura Ingalls Wilder stories. It was broadcast for eight seasons, beginning in 1974. The shows have since been translated into eighteen languages.

“Her work, her books, her stories are typically American.” said actor Dean Butler, who played Laura Ingalls’ husband Almonzo Wilder on the TV series. He later produced a documentary(纪录片）about her life and books.

“They’re about discovery and struggle(挣扎) and getting over difficulties. They' re about family and about making your way in the world.” says Dean Butler.

Dale Cockrell, a professor at Vanderbilt University, had already published a book on the Little House songs, seven sheet(乐谱）music books and nearly fifty musical recordings. He learned about the songs when he began reading the Little House books to his eight-year-old son. He realized that nowhere had he seen a fuller collection of popular music from the nineteenth century.

“Just about any form of popular music that would have been heard and enjoyed by audiences from the 1860s to the 1880s is included in the books," says Dale Cockrell. 32. What is mainly talked about in the passage?   A. Life and music on the American frontier.
