Book Description
Since the time of Little Women, no juvenile heroine has been better beloved of child readers than the Little Colonel. --St. Paul Dispatch In this entry in the Little Colonel series, Lloyd Sherman, the title character, leaves her Kentucky home with her parents on an adventure that takes her across the Atlantic and through Europe. While in Geneva, the Little Colonel meets Major Pierre de Vaux and his magnificent, specially trained St. Bernard, Hero. Throughout the trip, Hero's experiences in and relationship to the Red Cross prompt friends and strangers alike to share their stories of being helped by the organization. What begins as a birthday vacation becomes much, much more, as the Little Colonel learns about the notions of compassion, duty, and sacrifice from the most unlikely of heroes.

Book Description
"Oh, Tarbaby! Everybody has forgotten that it is my birthday! Even Papa Jack has gone off to town without saying a word about it, and he nevah did such a thing befo' in all his life!"As she spoke, the Little Colonel put her arm around her pony's neck, and for a moment her fair little head was pressed disconsolately against its velvety black mane."It isn't the presents I care about," she whispered, choking back a heart-broken sob; "but oh, Tarbaby, it's the bein' forgotten! Of co'se mothah couldn't be expected to remembah, she's been so ill. But I think grandfathah might, or Mom Beck, or somebody. If there'd only been one single person when I came down-stairs this mawnin' to say 'I wish you many happy returns, Lloyd, deah,' I wouldn't feel so bad. But there wasn't, and I nevah felt so misah'ble and lonesome and left out since I was bawn."Tarbaby had no words with which to comfort his little mistress, but he seemed to understand that she was in trouble, and rubbed his nose lovingly against her shoulder. The mute caress comforted her as much as words could have done, and presently she climbed into the saddle and started slowly down the avenue to the gate.

Book Description
One of the most beloved heroines of American children's literature, the Little Colonel, a delightful young Kentucky girl, is the central figure in this nostalgic tale of growing up in a leisurely age. The Little Colonel, Mom Beck, Papa Jack, Old Colonel Lloyd (who bore a striking resemblance to Napoleon) and their companions of Lloydsboro Valley form an appealing and lively cast for this delightful story. The tranquil setting of the beautiful Kentucky countryside, the timeless grace and wisdom of the Old Colonel, and the inquisitiveness of the young lass known as the Little Colonel combine to produce an ageless classic that has been savored again and again by many generations of young readers.
