Mrs. Gene Stratton-Porter’s 
writings are distinctive in Amer- 
ican Literature, and will hold a 
high place there because of their 
happy combination of scientific 
accuracy and truth to Nature, 
with genuine romantic charm. 
In the intervals between her 
more serious nature books, have 
appeared her popular Nature 
Romances, in which her own ex- 
periences in the Limberlost 
Swampsand Indiana woods are de- 
lightfully interwoven. It is safe 
to say that many thousands of 
persons have been brought to a 
new understanding of Nature 
through these romances. 
In her own opinion “The Song 
of the Cardinal” is her best work, 
— “an exquisite prose poem,” it 
has been called by the Boston 
Herald, “that deserves a place of 
its own in American literature.” 
Her books have been or are now 
being translated into three foreign 
languages, an honor given to few 
American writers.
