Books with title The Little Colonel's Chum: Mary Ware

The bus running between Warwick Hall Station and Warwick Hall school drew up at the door of the great castle-like building with as grand a flourish as if it carried the entire Senior class, and deposited one lone passenger upon the steps. As it was several days before the opening of the Fall term, no pupils were expected so soon, and but few of the teachers had returned. There was no one to see the imposing arrival of the little Freshman except the butler, who had been drawn to the front window by the sound of wheels. It devolved on him to answer the knocker this afternoon. In the general confusion of house-cleaning the man who attended the door had been sent up stairs to hang curtains.

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 na've, 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.Johnston's Little Colonel Series enjoyed worldwide popularity in the early twentieth century, peaking in 1935 with the release of the eponymous film starring Shirley Temple. Through the success of her books, Johnston's strong support of the female education movement and her own moral code influenced and impacted generations of young women even in the years following her death.
