  What began with the discovery of a glass negative—a teenage boy in a rocking chair, captivated by a story—became the spark that led me to retell and narrate this classic coming-of-age story. 
  A Girl of the Limberlost by Gene Stratton-Porter published in 1909, is set in the lush, untamed Limberlost Swamp of northeastern Indiana. Gene Stratton-Porter drew inspiration from her childhood experiences in the Limberlost Swamp for her novels, including A Girl of the Limberlost. The book's vivid descriptions of the swamp's beauty and the challenges faced by its inhabitants have captivated readers for over a century. 
  A Girl of the Limberlost tells the story of Elnora Comstock, a young woman fighting against poverty and a difficult home life to claim an education. She finds solace, inspiration and literally funds her future by venturing into the swamp to collect rare moths and butterflies to sell to collectors. 
  More than just a classic coming-of-age tale, this novel is a powerful tribute to human resilience and the restorative beauty of nature.

  A fifteen-year-old dressmaker's apprentice is seduced and abandoned, and a dissenting minister and his sister take her in and pass her off as a widow — a lie that must eventually be paid for by someone. Gaskell, a Manchester minister's wife, published this in 1853; readers burned it, two men in her husband's congregation forbade their wives to read it, and she wrote that she felt like St Sebastian. It is the first English novel to treat a fallen woman as a person.
