Why are we burying history?

1. Wilder writes an entire book about how near they came

to death by starvation, and it isn't enough? She is expected to have a broad understanding of ecology that we are still fighting 40% of the population to appreciate.

I agree with you that Wilder is held to a ridiculously high standard. Her books have been appreciated by generations of children including myself and my wife.

I thought the award should have been hyphenated to include a more modern author with a more inclusive body of work. Wilder's books stand as wonderful literature for children. My daughters never really got into them, but I plan to reread at least some before I shake off this mortal coil.
