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.
My Review: 4 StarsI love the type of story that makes me long for the simpler times, aka my childhood. The narrator (Little Sister) is sweet, precocious, adventurous, and very imaginative. I really enjoyed the way she found things to entertain herself, the way she made friends, and the way she absolutely adored her older brother, Laddie.
As stated in the blurb, this story is a double tale and the romance is sweet. This story has all the feel-goods and each chapter is a mini story in itself. I enjoyed my time spent within the pages of this endearing and charming book.
