Laddie


Book Description

A Tale of Indiana—a picture straight from life, showing the home circle of the Stantons and telling the love story of Laddie, the big brother of the Stanton family, and Pamela Pryor, an English girl. The book is full of poetry and of that love of nature that goes hand in hand with the author's idealism. The vividness of the home life quite lays hold of one so that he cries out: "Here, indeed, is a true story!" Few will forget the charm of the home wedding when Shelley Stanton was married, or the delicious moment when Leon, facing the congregation in the little Methodist Church, recited his thirteen texts, addressing each one to a member of the church for whom he had selected it with diabolical care. Here again, as in "Freckles," "A Girl of the Limberlost," and "The Harvester," one has that sense of being very close to the heart of nature, in flower and bird; and very close to the heart of man, in the purest and best emotions of life.




Laddie


Book Description

The charming story of Laddie is told by "Little Sister" a young girl who loves to learn, but has no patience with schools. Her ideal classroom is nature itself. Join her as she learns about the world and her place in it. An all-time childhood favorite of many, Laddie is the kind of story that inspires great character and kindly behavior....something that is sadly lacking in most modern literature for the young. Well worth reading, alone or aloud.

Laddie: a True Blue Story


Book Description

How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About Laddie: A True Blue Story by Gene Stratton-Porter Loosely based on Stratton-Porter's own childhood, Laddie is a double tale -- the classic poor-boy/rich-girl romance and the story of a child of nature and her idyllic childhood. This is the delightful story of a loving family narrated from the perspective of the "Little Sister." The story was published in 1913 and probably takes place in the mid to late 1800's. We get to appreciate Little Sister's love of the land, the birds, her family and particularly her love and devotion to her oldest brother and hero, Laddie. While we enjoy seeing how a loving family associates, disciplines, and cares for one another with a love and belief of God and the Savior, we also see some contrasting views of a family whose father has forsaken God and the poison he carries while holding a long grudge.
