Sobre este artículo
Front hinge a little weak, some age-darkening, spine fading, a little foxing, some soiling of boards, previous owners' names. All pages intact, clean, bright and unmarked.
A first edition of the first of Gene Stratton-Porter's best-selling books set in the (formerly) famous 13,000 acre Limberlost swamp in Adams and Jay counties in Indiana. Once a major wildlife and nature preserve, the swamp was drained and gone by 1910. About 10% has been restored, today, known as the Loblolly Marsh Nature Preserve.
An icon of turn-of-the-previous century Indiana, Stratton-Porter was one of the best-selling authors of her day, a naturalist and environmental activist who tried to save the Limberlost and other wetlands, a nature photographer, and a silent film-era producer who founded her own production company, Gene Stratton Porter Productions, in 1924.
Freckles is the story of an orphan who earns his way into society through courage and perseverance. In the course of the story, Stratton-Porter describes the varied plants, insects and animals of the wilderness area in loving and amusing detail.
