The Little Colonel. (Trade Mark.)
The scene of this story is laid in Kentucky. Its heroine is a small
girl, who is known as the Little Colonel, on account of her fancied
resemblance to an old-school Southern gentleman, whose fine estate
and old family are famous in the region. This old Colonel proves to
be the grandfather of the child.
The Giant Scissors.
This is the story of Joyce and of her adventures in France,—the
wonderful house with the gate of The Giant Scissors, Jules, her
little playmate, Sister Denisa, the cruel Brossard, and her dear
Aunt Kate. Joyce is a great friend of the Little Colonel, and in
later volumes shares with her the delightful experiences of the
“House Party” and the “Holidays.”
Two Little Knights of Kentucky, Who Were the Little Colonel’s
Neighbors.
In this volume the Little Colonel returns to us like an old friend,
but with added grace and charm. She is not, however, the central
figure of the story, that place being taken by the “two little
knights.”
Cicely and Other Stories for Girls.
The readers of Mrs. Johnston’s charming juveniles will be glad to
learn of the issue of this volume for young people.
Aunt ’Liza’s Hero and Other Stories.
A collection of six bright little stories, which will appeal to all
boys and most girls.
Big Brother.
A story of two boys. The devotion and care of Steven, himself a
small boy, for his baby brother, is the theme of the simple tale.
Ole Mammy’s Torment.
“Ole Mammy’s Torment” has been fitly called “a classic of Southern
life.” It relates the haps and mishaps of a small negro lad, and
tells how he was led by love and kindness to a knowledge of the
right.
The Story of Dago.
In this story Mrs. Johnston relates the story of Dago, a pet monkey,
owned jointly by two brothers. Dago tells his own story, and the
account of his haps and mishaps is both interesting and amusing.
The Quilt That Jack Built.
A pleasant little story of a boy’s labor of love, and how it changed
the course of his life many years after it was accomplished.
Flip’s Islands of Providence.
