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.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
