the little colonel's chum
Annie Fellows Johnston, 8 Full Page Plates By Etheldred Barry
Hardcover
(L.C. Page, Jan. 1, 1908)
For the first time, supporting character Mary Ware steps out of Annie Fellows Johnston's hugely popular Little Colonel Series and into her very own collection of adventures. With Mary Ware's acceptance into Warwick Hall, a prestigious boarding school that had previously educated Lloyd Sherman, the Little Colonel, she quickly becomes a favored student with the headmistress, Madame Chartley. Madame Chartley grants Mary Ware the honor of living in the Little Colonel's old dorm room, shared by fellow Warwick Hall student Ethelinda Hurst. Mary Ware, the naive, unabashed, enthusiastic young woman from the deserts of Arizona, and Ethelinda Hurst, a spoiled, aristocratic brat from the suburbs of Chicago, affect and influence each others' characters more than either could have predicted as they age and mature into proper young women.
