Hard cover. Fair condition. Inscribed in 1901.
What Katy Did at Home and School is an omnibus edition that combines Susan Coolidge's first two classic children's novels, What Katy Did (1872) and What Katy Did at School (1873), following the coming-of-age adventures of the spirited Katy Carr. The combined edition was first published in the nineteenth century and has remained popular with generations of young readers.
The story begins with twelve-year-old Katy Carr, an imaginative and energetic girl whose impulsive nature often leads her into mischief. After a devastating accident leaves her bedridden for several years, Katy learns patience, kindness, and resilience through the guidance of her wise Cousin Helen. Miraculously regaining the use of her legs, Katy later attends a strict boarding school with her sister Clover, where she encounters new friendships, challenging teachers, schoolroom adventures, and opportunities to demonstrate the maturity she has gained. Together, the two novels chart Katy's transformation from an unruly tomboy into a thoughtful and compassionate young woman, celebrating the enduring values of courage, family, friendship, perseverance, and personal growth.
