Beschreibung

In "The Little Colonel's Knight Comes Riding," Annie F. Johnston skillfully continues the beloved saga of the Little Colonel, captivating readers with her enchanting prose and vivid characterizations. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Americana, the narrative intertwines themes of friendship, loyalty, and youthful idealism. Johnston's mastery of regional dialect and attention to the social mores of her time enriches the story, providing a nuanced lens through which the audience can explore the dynamics of Southern society and the complexities of adolescence amidst charming and humorous escapades. Annie F. Johnston, an influential author of children's literature, published this work as a sequel to her popular "The Little Colonel" series, which drew from her own upbringing in Kentucky. Her experiences as a teacher and her keen observations of childhood innocence informed her charming storytelling. Johnston'Äôs strong values and emphasis on self-reliance are reflected in the protagonist's journeys, as they face both personal challenges and societal expectations. Readers are encouraged to immerse themselves in Johnston's whimsical world of the Little Colonel, where lessons of courage and compassion are highlighted in a way that resonates with readers of all ages. This book not only offers delightful escapism but also invites reflections on the timeless virtues of kindness and heroism.

    Old King Cole was a merry old soul, 
    And a merry old soul was he; 
    He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl 
    And he called for his fiddlers three 
    "OLD KING COLE was not always a king, nor was he born a member of any royal family. It was only chance—"hard luck" he used to call it—that made him a king at all. He had always been a poor man, being the son of an apple peddler, who died and left him nothing but a donkey and a fiddle. But that was enough for Cole, who never bothered his head about the world's goods, but took things as they came and refused to worry about anything." and so begins the story of how this happy soul became the king of a country by accident.
