Thanks for your help!

Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder?
Laura Ingalls Wilder died in 1957. Her books are out of copyright in Canada.
I suspect that the copyright on them would have been renewed in a timely fashion in the US, and so they'll still be in copyright there until the first one comes out of copyright on 1st January 2028. The rest will come out of copyright over the next 11 years up to 2039 when "These Happy Golden Years" (1943) comes out of copyright. The posthumously published works will come out of copyright over the next 31 years up to 2070 when "West from Home" (1974) comes out of copyright.
In the UK and the EU, all her works are still in copyright, and come out of copyright on 1st January 2028
