About the Author

Gene Stratton-Porter (1863 –1924) was an American author, amateur naturalist, wildlife photographer, and one of the earliest women to form a movie studio and production company. She wrote some best-selling novels and well-received columns in national magazines, such as McCalls. Her works were translated into several languages, including Braille, and Stratton-Porter was estimated to have 50 million readers around the world. She used her position and income as a well-known author to support conservation of Limberlost Swamp and other wetlands in the state of Indiana. Her novel A Girl of the Limberlost was adapted four times as a film, most recently in 1990 in a made-for-TV version. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sweet simple story., July 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Song of the Cardinal: A Love Story (Library Binding)

I bought this book after reading FRECKLES, the only other book I have read by GENE STRATTON PORTER. I found the book to be surprisingly entertaining since it is such a simple story. This book is written in such a way that you can almost see the cardinal. It may not reach everyone in the same manner but if you're in the mood for a calm relaxing read ,this is it.

This was my first time reading a Gene Porter Stratton book. A friend loaned it to me. I thought the story was sweet, well written and the pictures wonderful. I would love to visit her home site some day. And I have ordered more of her books as well as a copy of "The Song of a Cardinal" for my mother, who is an avid bird watcher!

I was so surprised to get this book and find that it really is a story all about a cardinal.
I have read other books by Gene Stratton Porter and loved them. I think I would have known this book was written by her even if I did not know when I started the book.
The describtive phrases are so good and so realistic. She must have observed cardinals for a very long time to be able to write this.
Very Good!
