Summary: From an Old Timer
Comment: First of all, the recommended age for all of the Little Colonal books is low. These are best read by 10 to 12 year olds to appreciate the quaintness of their style. I read the originals as a kid in the 30's from the books which my mother received, one by one, every Christmas as they were published from 1895 to 1912. I reread them when MY kids were little and now, again, just a week or so ago. This time I am fascinated by the story they tell of the mores and culture of the period. Many today will be offended by the southern attitude toward black people and will laugh at the idealism. However, by the time this last book about Mary Ware was written there is a distinct change toward women, social responsibility toward the poor, and a sense that Ms. Johnston is a suffragette in the most important way. This last book in the series shouldn't be read by itself. Start at the beginning with The Little Colonal stories, Houseparty, Boarding School,etc., on to The Little Colonal's Knight Comes Riding to get a real sense of who Mary Ware was and why she matures as the capable person she is.
