Girl of the Limberlost Author:Gene Stratton-Porter Deeply wounded by her embittered mother's lack of sympathy for her aspirations, Elnora finds comfort in the nearby Limberlost Swamp, whose beauty and rich abundance provide her with the means to better her life.
I really enjoyed this book as a girl. A great book for children who enjoyed the Little House and Anne of Green Gables books and are looking for similar historical stories of childhood/adolescence. Porter shows a real appreciation for nature.
