About the author
Gene Stratton-Porter (1863–1924) was an American writer and nature observer. Public information about the details of her life is limited, yet her literary profile is distinctive. Thirteen of her works are included here, among them A Girl of the Limberlost, Freckles, The Harvester, The Song of the Cardinal, and Moths of the Limberlost. Most are set against natural landscapes and rural life, weaving observations of plants and animals into stories of personal growth and emotion. Her plain, delicate prose often reveals a deep regard for wetlands and woodlands, forming a distinctive style between early twentieth-century American popular fiction and nature writing. Works such as A Daughter of the Land continue her attention to rural family life and the land.
