Laddie; a true blue story by Gene Stratton-Porter

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.
