Prairie Man

My Little House Life & Beyond

By: Dean Butler

Narrated by: Dean Butler

An illuminating, insider's journey through the world of Little House on the Prairie and beyond, from Dean Butler, who starred as Almanzo Wilder on the iconic show still beloved by millions of fans as it reaches its fiftieth anniversary.

Cast just before his twenty-third birthday, Dean Butler joined Little House on the Prairie halfway through its run, gaining instant celebrity and fans' enduring affection. Now, with wit and candor, Butler recounts his passage through the Prairie, sharing stories and anecdotes of the remarkable cast who were his on-screen family. But that was merely the beginning of a diverse career that includes Broadway runs and roles on two other classic shows—Moondoggie in The New Gidget and Buffy's ne'er-do-well father, Hank, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Coming of age during a golden era of entertainment, Butler has evolved along with it, and today enjoys success and fulfillment as a director and producer—notably of NBC Golf's Feherty—while remaining deeply loyal to Little House.

The warmth, heart, and decency that fans of Laura and Almanzo fell in love with on Little House echo through this uplifting memoir, a story, in Butler's words, about "good luck, good television, and the very good—if gloriously imperfect—people who made it so."

They whole book how you had to have good and bad to learn!

I love this book enjoyed everything about! Thank you for letting us a little bit in your life!

Deans compassion is wonderfully told with his story

I loved this book, and his story. Dean is so sincere and a great story teller.

One of my favorite autobiographies of the lhotp

I loved how Dean shared his ancestry and tied it to the time of Little House. It was nicely organized and read well. I appreciated the details shared and the respect with some things not being shared.

I liked the quote, “what other people think of me is none of my business” -Eleanor Roosevelt— I must write this down and store in my heart.

Thank you for such a wonderful share of your life Dean Butler!
