thor's previous works. and. 1t is said,
particularly adaptable for pictures.
In spite of her remarkable popu-
larity as a novelist, Mrs. Porter has
been always first a nature lover. She
has used her romances to bring to
her readers a breath of the outdoors,
love of the woods and fields and
the flowers and birds, butterflies and
wild creatures.
Between her novels she took the
time to write nature books about the
birds the moths and the flora of the
Limberlost. the forests and sWamps
of her native Indiana.
After moving to California she
identified all but SO of the botanical
specimens listed in California and
discovered several which had never
been listed. 1t was with the hope of
drawing people into the outdoors that
she wrote "Freckles" and THE Har
vester," THE Girl of the Limberlost' -
and others of her famous nature
stories.
''Laddie," one of her last. is not
about LimberIost. but the story Is the
portrayal of an American country
home. The characters seem to spring
out of the book and take on flesh and
blood in the film version.
