And now Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Fraser discusses the life and novels of Laura Ingalls wilder. She explained the differences between actual events in the authors life, the little house on the prairie book series, and the television adaptation. The Jefferson County, Missouri Library hosted this event. Good evening, everybody. We are really thrilled to see you here tonight. This is the third and final program in this series. We kept miss fraser very busy for the last two days and weve had wonderful crowds turned out each time. We sold out of the books. It has been really very satisfying. To have cspan here taping this to show on television is just the icing on the cake. Its such a wonderful feeling to know that something so positive representing Jefferson County will be on national television. My job tonight.

Cake. Its a wonderful feeling to know that something so positive representing Jefferson County will be on national television. My job tonight [ applause ] is to introduce the two people on the podium who will be conducting this conversation. Jane henderson is the editor at the st. Louis post dispatch. She graduated from st. Louis and graduated from columbia with degrees in journalism and english literature. She cut short her work as a grad student to go to work as a copy editor in the mid 1980s and later, after three years in the newsroom of the hartford in connecticut, she returned to st. Louis and has been an editor and writer with the post dispatch features department for 30 years. As a book editor, she assigns and edits book reviews choosing from some 300 or so new books each week. Shes written stories about book trends and interviewed many authors from sam and rushdie to e. L. Doctorel. So tonight she adds to that and she will be having a conversation with caroline fraser.
