Her stories are not only beautiful, but purposeful, and of the nature that leaves bright spots in the memory.” -Boston Transcript “Welcome news to the great multitude of worshipers at Mrs. Johnston’s shrine, attracted by her delightful tales…This latest book brings in many of the characters of the other ‘Little Colonel’ books, but especially Mary Ware herself, as good, generous and loveable as of old, if not more so.” -The Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer, Volume 37, July 1, 1912 Mary Ware, introduced to readers in The Little Colonel series, is seventeen years old and ready for adventure. Although she is young, she has already had many travels and experiences, including a trip to New York City and a wonderful season at boarding school. Now she is heading back out West with her family, but not without leaving behind some unfulfilled hopes. She can only correspond through letters to one whom she longs more than anything to see. Mary watches delightedly as her handsome brother Jack finds romance, but her joy for his happiness is tempered by her own desires. Follow Mary Ware on her adventure to womanhood. Her honest and easygoing personality will win the confidence of all young readers. Her friends and family will capture hearts as well. Does Mary's "promised land" really exist, and will she ever reach it? Ms. Johnston answers both of these questions and skillfully creates yet another enduring classic.

Excerpt from Two Little Knights of Kentucky: Who Were the Little Colonel's NeighboursOn the north side of the little country depot a long row of icicles hung from the eaves. Even the Wind seemed to catch its breath there, and hurry on with a shiver that reached to the telegraph wires overhead. It shivered down the long stovepipe, too, inside the wait ing-room. The stove had been kept red-hot all that dull gray afternoon, but the window panes were still White with heavy frost work.Half an hour before the five o'clock train was due from the city, two boys came running up the railroad track with their skates in their hands. They were handsome, sturdy little fel lows, so well buttoned up in their leather leggins and warm reefer overcoats that they scarcely felt the cold. Their cheeks were red as Winter apples, from skating against the Wind, and they were almost breathless after their long run up-hill to the depot. Racing across the platform, they bumped against the door at the same instant, burst it noisily open, and slammed it behind them with a bang that Shook the entire building.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
