Book Review of Prairie Man: My Little House Life & Beyond

Prairie Man: My Little House Life & Beyond
reviewed on + 21 more book reviews


I was pretty excited about winning this book in a Goodreads giveaway contest since I am a beloved fan of Little House on the Prairie. In addition, I remember the controversy surrounding the eight year age difference Dean and Melissa Sue Gilbert, which I thought was ironic since in real-life Almanzo Wilder was ten years older than Laura Wilder.

Furthermore, I remember watching the movie Forever based on the Judy Blume novel by the same name and I did not realize that Dean played the part of Michael Wagner opposite Stephanie Zimbalist who played the part of Katharine Danziger. Moreover, I did not know that Dean played Hank Summers, the father of Buffy in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 

Finally, I thought it was very interesting that Dean became a producer and that his last acting gig was in 2008. 

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Little House on the Prairie and especially fascinated with the actors from that popular family, historical, drama from the 70s and 80s.Â
