Synopsis:
Elnora is determined to go to high school, but her first day there is a disaster. For solace, Elnora goes to the Limberlost, the swampy forest near her home. Its natural beauty opens up a new world to her - by giving her a way to earn money and revealing hidden family secrets.
About the Author: Gene Stratton-Porter (1863-1924), American novelist and naturalist, was born on a farm in Indiana and became one of Indiana's best-known authors. Writing fiction to support her passion for observing natural habitats, she also wrote non-fiction works that extensively dealt with birds, flowers, and other natural wonders. She fought for the conservation of the Limberlost Swamp and took up other cases of public welfare as well. A Girl of the Limberlost (1909) and Freckles (1904) are two of her most famous works.
