Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“For children of the right age and temperament, Katy’s interior journey will continue to exert the fascination it has held for so many over the last 140 years.” —Guardian (London)
“Not even Miss Alcott apprehends child nature with finer sympathy, or pictures its nobler traits with more skill.” —Boston Daily Advertiser, 1899
“Susan Coolidge has always possessed the affection of her young readers, for it seems as if she had the happy instinct of planning stories that each girl would like to act out in reality.” — The Critic, 1899
“This is the moral side of the story; but its great charm to the little people will lie in the graphic picture of the life of Katy and her five brothers and sisters, before Katy’s accident took place. Not even Miss Alcott herself could have given more vivid pictures of children’s good times and sad scrapes than are in the first half of this story.” —Century Magazine, 1873

Author Bio: Susan Coolidge

Author Bio: Susan Coolidge

Susan Coolidge was the pen name of Sarah Chauncy Woolsey (1835–1905). Born in Ohio, she served as a nurse during the Civil War and after that turned to writing. When her first book, A New Year’s Bargain, was published in 1871, her editor, who was also the editor for Louisa May Alcott, suggested that Susan Coolidge try her hand at the same kind of story as Alcott’s. What followed were five books about the irrepressible Katy Carr and the fortunes and misfortunes of the Carr family, characters based on members of Coolidge’s own family.
