About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of THE LITTLE COLONEL'S HOLIDAYS, by ANNIE FELLOWS JOHNSTON. "What happened after the Little Colonel's house party?" they demand, and they send letters to the Valley by the score, asking "Did Betty go blind?" "Did the two little Knights of Kentucky ever meet Joyce again or find the Gate of the Giant Scissors?" Did the Little Colonel ever have any more good times at Locust, or did Eugenia ever forget that she too had started out to build a Road of the Loving Heart? It would be impossible to answer all these questions through the post-office, so that is why the magic kettle has been dragged from its hiding-place after all these years, and set a-boiling once more. Gather in a ring around it, all you who want to know, and pass your curious fingers through its wreaths. of rising steam. Now you shall see the Little Colonel and her guests of the house party in turn, and the bells shall ring for each a different song. This is the fifth book in the "Little Colonel" series for girls. (Summary from the book and Maria Therese)
