This classic book contains the first installment of Annie F. Johnstons eponymous childrens 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 Johnstons work. Annie Fellows Johnston (1863-1931) was an American author famous for writing popular childrens books.
