LIMBERLOST 



By Gene Stratton-Porter 



THERE is 

 familiar to 



:< 

 :< 



no portion of the country which has been made more 

 to hundreds of thousands of readers than the Limberlost 

 Swamp, that woodland and marsh which has been the setting of 

 Mrs. Porter's wonderful novels, ''Freckles," "A Girl of the Limber- 

 lost," and "The Harvester." 



It is about this very bit of Indiana that Mrs. Porter has written 

 her new book, "Moths of the Limberlost," and it is the most unusual 

 and interesting nature book ever imagined. It is a story of the 

 "Moths" of the Limberlost which every reader of "A Girl of the 

 Limberlost" will remember. Mrs. Porter pictures and describes the 

 moth s hunted by Elnora, and in specimens. Fully half the book is

landscapes over which she j^k ^^ described and pictured as only the

BY THE SAME AUTHOR 



The Harvester 



Now in its 6th Large Printing 



Over 200,000 Copies in Seven Months 



In a remarkable review a page and a half long in The Independent, Corra Harris, Author of 

 "The Circuit Rider's Wife" and "The Recording Angel," thus defines the extraordinary charm of 

 Mrs. Porter's book: 



"There is not a financier in Wall Street, not an artisan, nor grocerman, nor clerk in any city who reads this 

 story who will not discover in himself some dim relationship, buried beneath the dry and dead leaves of commer- 

 cialism, to this medicine man, who lived with his dog in a cabin in the green shade upon the banks of its singing 

 water. A vacation likeness to be sure, for few men of to-day are sufficiently hardy in mind or body to endure such 

 an existence longer than three weeks. But that is the fault of our kind of civilization, not of the life portrayed 

 in "The Harvester." 



Illustrated in colors. Fixed price, $1.35 (postage 14c.) 



c 



"Freckles" and "A Girl of the Limberlost, "the other 

 members of this delightful trio, are selling better to- 

 day than when they were published six and three 

 years ago, respectively.
