Review this book!
Opal Whiteley's supposed diary, published in 1920 and detailing events in her life when she was 7 years old and living in an Oregon forest, was hailed across America as a masterpice--except by those who reviled it as a hoax. Here is the true story, culled from mountains of private papers and public journalism, complete with pictures of the lovely Opal and an evaluation of her effect on the New Age and environmental movements.
