Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Laddie: A True Blue Story is a novel written by Gene Stratton Porter that tells the story of a large family living in rural Indiana in the late nineteenth century. The book is narrated by the second oldest daughter, Little Sister, who idolizes her older brother Laddie. Laddie is a kind and responsible young man who is loved by everyone in the community. The book follows the family's daily life, including their struggles with poverty, illness, and the challenges of living in a small town. Despite these difficulties, the family remains close and supportive of one another. Little Sister's admiration for Laddie grows as she watches him navigate the challenges of adolescence and adulthood. The novel is a heartwarming story of family, love, and the importance of community. It is also a tribute to the author's own brother, who was the inspiration for the character of Laddie.That spring I decided if school didn't stop pretty soon, I'd run away again, and I didn't in the least care what they did to me. A country road was all right and it was good enough, if it had been heaped up, leveled and plenty of gravel put on; and of course our road would be fine, because father was one of the commissioners, and as long as he filled that office, every road in the county would be just as fine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
