Critics Review
Praise for Prairie Man by Dean Butler:
“I’ve had the privilege of knowing Dean Butler from the perspective of a television viewer, business colleague, and friend. This story could only have been written by Dean. It’s a clear understanding of life in front of and as an executive behind the camera. If you love Little House on the Prairie and you want to understand the business of entertainment, sports, and more importantly, living a full life, with his wife Katherine, Dean’s book is one you will enjoy.” —Kathy Ireland
“Dean Butler has a unique perspective of the Little House experience. His stories have wit and wisdom, and his career takes us beyond Little House as he provides even more Hollywood insights.” —Mary McDonough, actress (The Waltons) and author of Lessons from the Mountain
“A ‘must read’ for fans of Little House on the Prairie, as well as an engaging and insightful show-business chronicle made richer by Dean’s love of history and his ongoing desire to tell powerful stories. This memoir is not only a surprisingly candid and affectionate view of the iconic television series, including Dean Butler’s complex relationship with Michael Landon, but also a challenging, improvisational journey of a young leading man evolving into a successful Producer/Writer/Director.” —Lucy Lee Flippin, actress (Little House on the Prairie)
“Warm. Authentic. Utterly charming and endlessly captivating and entertaining. A deeply personal and beautifully written chronicle from the heart of a life well lived. I worked with Dean after his defining time with Michael Landon. It would’ve been easy, given Little House’s status as one of the most enduring series in the history of television, to paint it all with a broad brush of perfection, but Dean goes beyond the mythology to share his personal experience with both awe and understanding. To so many he remains Almanzo Wilder, but to me…he will always be my “Moondoggie”.” —Caryn Richman, actress, The New Gidget
