Written for both children and adults, the novel is a classic tale of struggle and survival set in one of Indiana's iconic wilderness regions. Elnora Comstock has always felt different, growing up on the edge of the vast Limberlost Swamp, where her life is forever associated with the death of her father, who drowned in quicksand while her mother Katharine was going into labor. Despite this tragedy, Katharine has maintained a reverence for the swamp, refusing to sell their land for timber or mineral rights like most of her neighbors have done. Now a teenager, Elnora struggles to connect with other high schoolers, most of whom are unaccustomed to the rhythms of the natural world. Mired in poverty, she refuses to give up, excelling in her classes and becoming an accomplished violinist. Nevertheless, she still feels she must prove herself to her mother, who remains stuck in the past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Gene Stratton-Porter's A Girl of the Limberlost is a classic work of American literature reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 203 x 127 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781513133713\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gene Stratton-Porter","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44520433582330,"sku":"9781513133713","price":11.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1692967197494_book.jpg?v=1693031818","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/a-girl-of-the-limberlost-9781513133713","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
