Prairie Man: My Little House Life & Beyond by Dean Butler

US pub date - 6/25/24

I just celebrated my 51st birthday. Growing up in North America, by the time I was 7, I had moved away from my grandparents’ house, my place of safety with the people who made me feel most safe and secure, to a new house with my mother and a brand new stepfather and started watching Little House on the Prairie. My stepfather bought me the book series so I was able to read the early books while stepping into viewing a well established series. I loved the books at that point in time and I adored the series which was a soothing balm to my young, anxious self. 

.

You can understand why I wanted to read this, I’m sure. 

.

Beginning with two separate forwards (Melissa Gilbert “Laura Ingalls Wilder” and Alison Arngrim “Nellie Olson”), Mr Butler delves into his life and legacy role and succeeds in coming off as one of the sincerest and kindest people in Hollywood.

.

I really enjoyed reading this memoir and recommend to fans of Dean Butler, Little House on the Prairie, and the autobiographies and memoirs of the actors of the show.
