movies
The sum total of my knowledge about the Wilders and movies is that Rose Wilder Lane hated Shirley Temple, or at least she wrote that she did. I only mention movies because it's Academy Awards night and I've only been to two movies this Oscar year. One was "Finding Neverland," which I enjoyed a lot, even though I recognized the historical inaccuracies it contained.

Another made-for-television "Little House" movie will be broadcast next month, and I'm sure there will be people quick to point out every last nano-scene that doesn't meet their definition of accurate. Enough already!

I can enjoy a movie about a favorite author in spite of the inaccuracies, as long as it's a good movie -- well written with believable characters. If it's a bad movie, all the accuracy in the world isn't going to make it worth sitting through.

It's the same with books. That Burr Oak book is no LH book....
