Johnston Annie Fellows | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

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