Very easy to read. Produced by Juliet Sutherland, David Widger, and Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders "The Little Colonel" by Annie Fellows Johnston is a children's novel written in the late 19th century that spins the charming tale of a spirited young girl named Lloyd, known as the Little Colonel. Set in the picturesque backdrop of Kentucky, the story explores themes of family dynamics, relationships, and the impact of a child's innocent nature on those around her. Central to the narrative is the little girl’s interactions with her stern grandfather, Colonel Lloyd, and her mother, Elizabeth, whose strained relationship adds depth to the unfolding events. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Lloyd, who is bursting with energy and curiosity as she explores her grandfather's estate, Locust. She encounters him with carefree delight, despite his gruff demeanor, and inadvertently reminds him of the son he lost in the war. Characters such as her loyal dog, Fritz, and her nurturing caretaker, Mom Beck, add warmth to her adventures. The opening chapters also hint at the deeper tensions within her family, particularly between her mother and grandfather, revealing a historical backdrop that shapes their current lives. The chapter sets the stage for a rich exploration of innocence, love, and reconciliation as the story progresses.
