560 pp. Mint green cloth, cream titles, dark green decorations. Color frontispiece and plates by Frances Rogers, first 12 pages before text decorated with illustrations. "This early 20th-century classic chronicles the adventures of an orphaned newspaper boy in his "hand-to-hand scuffle" with life in a Midwestern metropolis. Gene Stratton-Porter's faith in the healing power of nature is also apparent, in a lovingly depicted tamarack swamp set near the city."
