The Little Colonel

One of the most beloved heroines of American
children’s literature, the Little Colonel, a delightful young Kentucky girl, is
the central figure in this nostalgic tale of growing up in a leisurely age. The Little Colonel, Mom Beck, Papa Jack, Old Colonel Lloyd (who bore a
striking resemblance to Napoleon) and their companions of Lloydsboro Valley
form an appealing and lively cast for this delightful story.
The tranquil setting of the beautiful Kentucky countryside, the timeless
grace and wisdom of the Old Colonel, and the inquisitiveness of the young lass
known as the Little Colonel combine to produce an ageless classic that has been
savored again and again by many generations of young readers.
