Loosely based on Stratton-Porter's own childhood, Laddie is a double tale-the classic poor-boy/rich-girl romance and the story of a child of nature and her idyllic childhood.
In Freckles a homeless waif finds his deliverance in the primeval Limberlost swamp. Maimed and abandoned as an infant, Freckles seeks a chance to prove his worth. He is given that opportunity as the guard of the precious timber of the Limberlost.
