Annie Fellows Johnston's (1868-1931) juvenile fiction series, the "Little Colonel" stories (1895-1912), sold some two million copies during the author's lifetime (Kaye 1985, 251).1 Yet even research libraries that hold more than a few of the thirteen titles of the series are now hard to find. This preliminary inquiry into the material indicates why this neglect is easy to understand; it will also indicate that this series for adolescent girls in fact conveys a set of attitudes and themes familiar to us from better-known works produced during this time
