More Little Colonel Books, Etc.
While many of these are derivatives of the original Little Colonel Books, there will be some new reading here as well, especially on the Little Colonel Stories, Part II. “Prequels” you may call them.
We’re resting here at LittleColonel.com, having just completed Mary Ware’s Promised Land but soon we’ll begin treating each of these below. Many at least have new illustrations! We hope this “list of coming attractions” will do for now.
