A Girl of the Limberlost
by Gene Stratton-Porter
My mom always said "A Girl of the Limberlost" was her favorite book while growing up. I never read it because it was too "old fashioned". Missing her at Christmas, I decided to finally read it. I really enjoyed it. Moreover, I could just imagine how wonderful she would have found it, growing up in the 20's and 30's on a farm in West Texas.
My mom was an avid reader. She passed away twenty years ago. Since I was reading it on an e-reader, I really wished she could have discovered e-books, Audible and Overdrive. She would have absolutely loved them.
Yes, the book is dated and reading it as a cynical adult, it would be easy to see the faults in it. But it is a charming story and well worth reading. I would strongly recommend it for girls who enjoy Little House, Green Gables and stories of this sort. It has the charm of those books but adds the naturalist aspect that gives the heroine a more can-do spirit. The author [a:Gene Stratton-Porter|1372693|Gene Stratton-Porter|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1238819887p2/1372693.jpg] is especially inspiring. I will definitely do more research on her.
