A Girl of the Limberlost
Illustrated by Benda, Wladyslaw T.
“A Girl of the Limberlost” is the story of Elnora Comstock, a lonely, determined girl growing up beside Indiana’s vast Limberlost Swamp. Desperate for an education despite her embittered mother’s opposition, Elnora earns her way through school by collecting and selling moths and other natural specimens. Gene Stratton-Porter’s beloved novel combines Elnora’s coming of age with a vivid celebration of the natural world.
