Thomas L. Tedrow is an American author who wrote children’s historical fiction during the 1990s. His 16 books were all published between 1992 and 1996, and most of them are set in or around Mansfield, Missouri, the town where Laura Ingalls Wilder lived as an adult.
His biggest series is Days of Laura Ingalls Wilder, eight books that imagine what Laura’s life might have been like after the events covered in her own famous Little House books. The series covers community life in Mansfield, dealing with neighbors, attending the World’s Fair, and other episodes from early 20th-century small-town America. His second major series, The Younguns, is also set in Mansfield and follows a group of children through four adventures published in 1996.
Tedrow also wrote a few standalone titles, including Dorothy: Return to Oz and Legend of Grizzly Adams and Kodiak Jack, plus single books in the Dino Mites and Troll Family Adventures series. All of his work is aimed at younger readers and has a wholesome, faith-friendly tone.
