Gene Stratton-Porter’s Classic Coming-of-Age Novel

This beautiful hardcover collector’s edition features:

Gilt Edges, Ribbon Marker, Historical Notes, and a Brief Biography of Gene Stratton-Porter

Elnora Comstock is a country girl with a dream of attending the large high school in town, but her hardhearted and neglectful mother thinks she is a fool.

Against her mother's wishes she enrolls in school only to be humiliated on her first day. Her clothes are all wrong, and the other students are cruel. She also learns that her books are not free. 

Elnora has to admit her mother was right, but she is determined to persevere. She just needs to earn enough money to purchase her books, and maybe some new clothes.

When she hears that there are collectors who will pay for rare specimens of moths, she knows God has answered her prayers. The Limberlost Swamp near her home is teeming with the creatures who will put her through school and guide her on a path that will change her life.

Set in early 20th Century Indiana, Gene Stratton-Porter's beloved coming-of-age novel, A Girl of the Limberlost, is an uplifting story of the redemptive and healing power of the natural world.
