The Little House series of novels by Laura Ingalls Wilder have sold tens of millions of copies.
They also were made into a very successful TV series beginning in the 1970s.
Now the Ingalls family is back in a new Little House on the Prairie series on Netflix.
That doesn't take place in Minnesota, where the old show spent most of its time.
Instead, its focus is earlier in Laura's life in Kansas, where the promise
of available land for the family comes at the expense of a local Osage population that's being pushed out.
I'm Linda Holmes, and joining me today on NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour is culture critic Kristen Meinzer.
Hello, Kristen.
Hey, Linda.
Also with us is Soraya Nadia McDonald.
She's a cultural critic and a journalist.
Hello, Soraya.
Hello, hello.
So the Netflix take on Little House on the Prairie is based on the one Wilder
book that was actually called Little House on the Prairie, which is about the family's time in Kansas.
