Little Colonel

This classic book contains the first installment of Annie F. Johnston's eponymous children's series, "e;The Little Colonel"e;. 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, "e;The Little Colonel"e; would make for a great addition to any family collection, and is not to be missed by fans of Johnston's work.
