What I have done with birds – Gene Stratton-Porter

A fantastic work about the birds in the Limberlost swamp area in Indiana, USA. The book contains a wealth of character studies of native American birds as through friendly advances the author could induce to pose for her.

At the Foot of the Rainbow – Gene Stratton-Porter

Mrs. Gene Stratton-Porter has carried out this idea and really unearthed a “Crock of Gold” for the lover of the beautiful in fiction. It is a charming tale of the two greatest things in the world, Love and Friendship, with delicate pen pictures of “God’s Country” interwoven. The touch of nature that makes the whole world kin was never better exemplified than in this story of Dannie, Jimmy and Mary, who lived and loved by the banks of the Wabash. A book to be thankful for and to remember all one’s life.

Freckles

Publiziert am 26. Mai 2017 von Jazzybee

Freckles – Gene Stratton-Porter

Freckles, a nameless Irish waif when the story opens, moved by the power of a mighty love, takes hold of his life, performs deeds of heroism in his guardianship of the Limberlost timber leases, and at length, through the help of the woman he loves, comes into possession of his name and patrimony. Other characters, only a little less interesting, are McLean, a member of the Grand Rapids Lumber Co., Freckles’ friend and boss; Lord O’More, who seeks a lost relative and finds him in the hero, and Black Jack, a handsome villian, whose thought of repentance comes too late.

The Song of the Cardinal – Gene Stratton-Porter

“The Song of the Cardinal” is a fascinating story of the life of a redbird, or Kentucky cardinal, as it is popularly called, who is born in the valley of the Wabash. The author possesses the soul of an artist and a poet, which enables her to invest the story with the charm of a rich and vivid imagination; while her knowledge of the habits and peculiarities of the redbird and the love she feels for the cardinal family impart a living interest to her work that makes the reader enter into the joys and tribulations, the triumphs, failures, and final victory of the hero, with much the same personal interest one … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
