One of the most beloved novels of its era, A Girl of the Limberlost is a masterpiece of pastoral literature. Protagonist Elnora Comstock is deeply enamored of the enchanting forest known as the Limberlost in which she has grown up. When logging trucks and oil rigs begin to dominate the landscape she loves, Elnora draws a line in the sand and chooses a different life for herself and her family. Will she be able to scrape by without the easy money that these endeavors would surely provide?
