If you want a physical copy of this fine story (and not an independently published one), it is published by Indiana University Press. ( )

This was a surprisingly good read - we bought this book after a visit to the Limberlost some years back, and I hadn't expected it to much to my liking, being what we would now call a "young adult" novel over a century old. But the writing was good, the story compelling and the social background of rural Indiana in the early part of the last century was fascinating. A whole new perspective on the beginnings of the Progressive Era. Recommended. ( )

Deeply wounded by her embittered mother's lack of sympathy for her aspirations, Elnora finds comfort in the nearby Limberlost Swamp, whose beauty and rich abundance provide her with the means to better her life.

Good novel somewhat in the nature of Anne of Green Gables. Young woman is helped by nature to heal. I was looking at the time for something like Anne of Green Gables and found this one. ( )

I first read Elnora's story when I was 12, and I reread this favorite every June, for the moths. ( )
