Although an unofficial holiday, bibliophiles across the nation celebrate National Book Lovers Day on Aug. 9 by picking up a beloved novel – or by finding a new favorite.
To help you celebrate National Book Lovers Day, we wanted to highlight some well-known works by Indiana’s most widely read female author – Gene Stratton-Porter. Throughout her life, Gene wrote 12 novels, including best-sellers Freckles, A Girl of the Limberlost and Laddie.
But you may not be as familiar with one of her other novels. The Magic Garden was published years after Gene’s death in 1924.
Read more to remember a beloved book – or just maybe find a new favorite or two.
