About this ebook

This classic book is the first instalment 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 classic 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.

About the author

Indiana-born author Annie Fellows Johnston was the creator of several series of children's books that attained widespread popularity in the early twentieth century. Along the lines of "Anne of Green Gables," the charming novel "Georgina of the Rainbows" will cast an enchanting spell on girls looking for something more timeless and classic than the tween drama and supernatural fluff passed off as juvenile fiction these days. This novel was written for and about young ladies, though it has been and likely always will be a classic for the whole family.
