Her tales of a strong, traditional frontier family that endures the hardships of the late eighteenth century are seen through the eyes of a child, which endears them to young readers. At her best, Wilder employs a clear, simple style, a wealth of fascinating detail, and a straightforward narrative style. Three of Wilder's books were published posthumously: On the Way Home, a diary of her trip to Mansfield The First Four Years, an unfinished book about her first four years of marriage and West from Home, letters she wrote on a visit to her daughter in San Francisco, none of them up to the quality of her earlier books. By the Shores of Silver Lake (1939) records the family's move to South Dakota, as do the final three books in the series: The Long Winter, Little Town on the Prairie (1941), and These Happy Golden Years (1943), which ends with her marriage to Almanzo Wilder.
