{"product_id":"2940013802773","title":"Moths of the Limberlost","description":"Proofed and corrected from the original edition for enjoyable reading. (Worth every penny spent!)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHERE is no portion of the country which has been made more familiar to hundreds of thousands of readers than the Limberlost Swamp, that woodland and marsh which has been the setting of Gene Stratton-Porter's wonderful novels, \"Freckles,\" \"A Girl of the Limberlost,\" and \"The Harvester.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is about this very bit of Indiana that Porter has written her book, \"Moths of the Limberlost,\" and it is the most unusual and interesting nature book ever imagined. It is a story of the \"Moths\" of the Limberlost which every reader of \"A Girl of the Limberlost\" will remember. Gene Stratton-Porter pictures and describes the moths hunted by Elnora, and in many chapters there are the landscapes over which she hunted, much of the swamp, and the very bridge under which she was working to cut loose a cocoon when Philip came up the stream, fishing. There is also the log-cabin in which Elnora lived. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe text is just scientific enough to give the name and description of each moth, cocoon and caterpillar; the remainder is a fascinating record of personal experiences in finding or raising the specimens. Fully half the book is of birds, flowers and the out-doors, described and pictured as only the author knows how. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne feature is notable. Almost all books on these subjects are illustrated by reproductions of pinned, shriveled, unnaturally placed dead moths. Every reproduction in this book is from living moths, posed naturally, in their proper environment, and with the colors of life.","brand":"OGB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168841089264,"sku":"2940013802773","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013802773_p0.jpg?v=1763590477","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013802773","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
