The Little Colonel's Maid of Honor

by Annie Johnston

Overview

The Little Colonel is back, and this
time she's a maid of honor. Her friend Eugenia is getting married, and the
whole wedding party has come to stay at Lloyd's house. The old fashioned term
for this kind of extended sleep-over/get-together is a "house party."
Reading Ms. Johnston's version of the delightful events leading up to the
wedding is like traveling back to the time of slow summer days and long, white
cotton dresses.
In this story readers will be introduced to Mary Ware, the wild girl from
Arizona who has traveled all the way to Kentucky for the festivities. Her
untamed western ways make her an endearing character. Handsome young men,
moonlit boat rides, and evening walks through the woods delight Lloyd and her
dear friends as much as they do the reader. Perhaps Lloyd will even find the
beginnings of love.
