What Katy Did Next

Autor Susan Coolidge
en Limba Engleză Paperback
What Katy Did Next is a delightful book written for children by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey in the late 19th century. This heart-warming tale details the story of Katy, a twelve-year-old American tomboy who lives with her family in the fictionalised Ohio town of Burnet in the 1860s. Katy is obsessed with fantastical notions of greatness and wishes to be handsome and beloved by all, and after the death of her mother she resolves to be a mother to her siblings - but not with some difficulty. After a terrible accident which leaves her crippled, Katy gradually learns to be as good and kind as she has always wished to be during her long and challenging recovery. This lovely tale of growth and realisation is a timeless classic, enjoyed by children today just as much as it was upon its originally publication in 1872. Sarah Chauncey Woolsey was an American author often writing under the pseudonym Susan Coolidge. Other notable works by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey include: Not Quite Eighteen (1894), Little Bo-Beep (1901), and What Katy Did at School (1873). This book is republished now with an additional biography of the author.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'As soon as I started to read it, I was hooked' GUARDIAN

'One of my all-time favourite books . . . It's a wonderful book' JACQUELINE WILSON

'Katy speaks with a charm and directness that remains as fresh as when it was written' AMANDA CRAIG


'Europe beckoned more brilliantly now that they were fairly embarked on their journey. The sun shone, the lake was a beautiful, dazzling blue, and Katy said to herself, "After all, a year is not very long, and how happy I am going to be!"'

When Mrs Ashe discovers that her visiting nephew has scarlet fever, she sends her young daughter Amy to stay with the Carr family. There, Amy develops a strong attachment to Katy who treats her like a little sister. Mrs Ashe, grateful for the kindness Katy has shown, invites her to join them on a year-long trip around Europe. Katy is at first reluctant - a year is a long time to be away from her family - but soon she gets swept up in the adventure which takes her from the historic (but rainy) London streets to the beautiful cities of Nice, Paris and Naples. And perhaps Katy, now a young woman, will discover love.

As soon as I started to read it, I was hooked
I fell head over heels in love with Katy
One of my all-time favourite books . . . It's a wonderful book, very easy to read, even though it was published in the 19th century. It's a very lively funny story
