A Girl of the Limberlost (Library of Indiana Classics) Review

I am thrilled! I can't believe I found this book still available in print on Amazon. This was one of my mother's favorite books as a child. She gave it to me to read when I was a girl. I read it several times and was fascinated with the strange but beautiful evolution of the relationship between the mother and daughter in the story. I will also never forget the parts about how the girl collected bugs against a white sheet at night or how her mother went to the hair salon and had them style her hair several times so she could learn how to do it herself. I cannot wait to get my copy and read it again. I never thought I would find it. But if this story stayed with me all these years and with my mother before me, it must have an extraordinary magic that transcends space and time. I am so happy to see that it is a classic and that it's here for others to enjoy. My mother died when I was 15 and this book is a fond memory of her.

A Girl of the Limberlost by Gene Stratton Porter - Peggy B - Norwich, New York United States
I wish more of the classics would be available. This was a fun re-read. I really like this author.

Wonderful book! - CatS - Maryland
I love this book. I had initially read it many years ago and I absolutely loved it. Gene Stratton Porter was a wonderful author who depicts the "Limberlost" vividly in her books. Also, the way she also very poignantly describes the relationship struggles and joys between mother and daughter brings you to tears and full laughter in places. This is just a terrific and wholesome book. I give it a big thumbs up and I believe that everyone should read it at least once.

A Classic - Me - Utah
I love this book. It is well-written and is full of characters that it is easy for the reader to identify with. I first read this book when I was in elementary school. I am now approaching my mid-thirties and have re-read this book countless times since. This is a book that one can enjoy regardless of their age group.
