STORIES OF RARE CHARM BY GENE STRATTON-PORTER

LADDIE. 
Illustrated by Herman Pfeifer.

This is a bright, cheery tale with the scenes laid in Indiana.  The story is told by Little Sister, the youngest member of a large family, but it is concerned not so much with childish doings as with the love affairs of older members of the family.  Chief among them is that of Laddie, the older brother whom Little Sister adores, and the Princess, an English girl who has come to live in the neighborhood and about whose family there hangs a mystery.  There is a wedding midway in the book and a double wedding at the close.

THE HARVESTER. 
Illustrated by W. L. Jacobs.

“The Harvester,” David Langston, is a man of the woods and fields, who draws his living from the prodigal hand of Mother Nature herself.  If the book had nothing in it but the splendid figure of this man it would be notable.  But when the Girl comes to his “Medicine Woods,” and the Harvester’s whole being realizes that this is the highest point of life which has come to him—­there begins a romance of the rarest idyllic quality.

FRECKLES. 
Decorations by E. Stetson Crawford.

Freckles is a nameless waif when the tale opens, but the way in which he takes hold of life; the nature friendships he forms in the great Limberlost Swamp; the manner in which everyone who meets him succumbs to the charm of his engaging personality; and his love-story with “The Angel” are full of real sentiment.

A GIRL OF THE LIMBERLOST.
Illustrated by Wladyslaw T. Brenda.

The story of a girl of the Michigan woods; a buoyant, lovable type of the self-reliant American.  Her philosophy is one of love and kindness towards all things; her hope is never dimmed.  And by the sheer beauty of her soul, and the purity of her vision, she wins from barren and unpromising surroundings those rewards of high courage.

AT THE FOOT OF THE RAINBOW. 
Illustrations in colors by Oliver Kemp.

The scene of this charming love story is laid in Central Indiana.  The story is one of devoted friendship, and tender self-sacrificing love.  The novel is brimful of the most beautiful word painting of nature, and its pathos and tender sentiment will endear it to all.
