More than three decades after Johnston first created the characters of a stately old Kentucky colonel and his little granddaughter, Lloyd Sherman, The Little Colonel Stories: Second Series continues the adventures of the bold and mischievous Little Colonel. One of the few Little Colonel stories dealing with race, "Ole Mammy's Torment" depicts the relationship between the Little Colonel's family and their black servants. "The Three Tremonts" follows Stuart, Phil, and Elise Tremont, as well as their pet monkey, Dago, all of whom are prominent characters alongside Lloyd Sherman and Mary Ware in the Little Colonel novels. These stories and more are included in this volume, an excellent addition to the adventures of the Little Colonel and a terrific opportunity to introduce new readers to the exciting world of that rambunctious young girl we all know and love.
