The Song of the Cardinal, a classical book, has been considered important throughout the human history, and so that this work is never forgotten we at Alpha Editions have made efforts in its preservation by republishing this book in a modern format for present and future generations. This whole book has been reformatted, retyped and designed. These books are not made of scanned copies of their original work and hence the text is clear and readable.
I love this book. My daughter surprized me with finding a copy of it,after I'd envied a very expensive copy "discovered" on a rarebooks shelf in a used book store. ( I am surprizing her,years later,buying her a copy today :-) , I HAVE to keep mine! ) I hand raised a nest of abandoned cardinals as a young girl..such wonderful birds...Gene Stratton-Porter knew them well.. I became a fan of all of her books. Love them

My daughter had to read this book for a school project. She enjoyed it a lot; it has a good message like many Gene Stratton-Porter books.

I was so surprised to get this book and find that it really is a story all about a cardinal. I have read other books by Gene Stratton Porter and loved them. I think I would have known this book was written by her even if I did not know when I started the book. The describtive phrases are so good and so realistic. She must have observed cardinals for a very long time to be able to write this. Very Good! PK Nica
Sweet story

This was my first time reading a Gene Porter Stratton book. A friend loaned it to me. I thought the story was sweet, well written and the pictures wonderful. I would love to visit her home site some day. And I have ordered more of her books as well as a copy of "The Song of a Cardinal" for my mother, who is an avid bird watcher!
A sweet simple story.

I bought this book after reading FRECKLES, the only other book I have read by GENE STRATTON PORTER. I found the book to be surprisingly entertaining since it is such a simple story. This book is written in such a way that you can almost see the cardinal. It may not reach everyone in the same manner but if you're in the mood for a calm relaxing read ,this is it.
