Summary

This classic book contains the first installment of Annie F. Johnston's eponymous children's series, "The Little Colonel". It is a semi-biographical story of a girl who becomes known as the little Colonel due to her bullying, which resonates with the personality of her grandfather, a former colonel on the confederate side. A charming and timeless tale, "The Little Colonel" would make for a great addition to any family collection, and is not to be missed by fans of Johnston's work. Annie Fellows Johnston (1863-1931) was an American author famous for writing popular children's books. Other notable works by this author include: "Georgina's Service Stars" (1918) and "Mary Ware's Promised Land" (1912). Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
Available since: 03/31/2016.

Who is the big-earringed cyclist? Why does the POGI have to wear a barrel all the time? Is Rodders Lasenby a lovely person or simply the rudest man on the planet?
