Joy - thanks for reminding me about Gene Stratton-Porter (it really is Gene, short for Geneva). My favouritest of all her stories is Michael O'Halloran which I read a lifetime ago, for the first time and have read over and over since. Another of her books is Laddie which I really enjoy too.
Another "old-fashioned" author that I love and have re-read most of her books is Mary Webb - my favourite is Precious Bane, closely followed by Gone to Earth, which was reprinted in paperback in 1989, Seven for a Secret and The House in Dormer Forest.
