About the author
Born in 1863, Annie Fellows Johnston was an American author remembered above all for The Little Colonel series. She was closely associated with Kentucky, and her fiction for children and young readers brought her lasting popularity.
Johnston wrote at a time when series fiction was becoming a favorite part of family reading, and the Little Colonel books became her signature success. Their popularity led to stage and screen interest as well, helping keep her name familiar to readers beyond her own generation.
She died in 1931, but her books continued to be read and collected afterward. Today she is mainly remembered as a prolific early children’s author whose stories hold a place in the history of American juvenile literature.
