Abigail MacBride Allen (born 1970) is the owner of the literary rights to the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Allen is the daughter of Roger Lea MacBride, the 1976 Libertarian candidate for President of the United States. She traveled with her father frequently during his 1976 presidential bid. She also made public appearances with Roger Lea MacBride during events celebrating Laura Ingalls Wilder. Abigail Macbride Allen was adopted by Roger Lea MacBride shortly after her birth in 1970. She was living in Charlottesville, Virginia and Miami Beach, Florida at the time of her father's death in 1995, when the Ingalls Wilder estate was estimated at $100 million dollars. Ingalls Wilder's daughter Rose Wilder Lane had befriended a young Roger Lea MacBride and later made him her heir. Her rights as sole heir to the Little House fortune came in 2001 after a contentious two-year lawsuit. She was described as a "raven-haired Southern beauty" by a New York Post reporter in 1999.
