This antiquarian volume contains the final book in Susan Coolidge's famous heart-warming 'Katy' series. Lionel Young and Imogen, his sister, embark on a trip to the idyllic but remote High Valley area of Colorado, leaving their home in Devonshire, England far behind them. Lionel intends to assume the share in Geoffrey Templestowe's cattle enterprise. Imogen, due to her prejudices against America and the American lifestyle, struggles to come to terms with life in the USA. This text is a veritable must-read for fans of the 'Katy' series, and is not to be missed by collectors of Coolidge's lovely work. Sarah Chauncey Woolsey (1835 - 1905) was an American children's author. We are republishing this vintage book now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Gangly, quick-tempered Katy means to be beautiful and beloved and as good as an angel one day. But meanwhile her resolutions somehow get forgotten or go horribly wrong.

Europe beckoned more brilliantly now that they were fairly embarked on their journey. The sun shone, the lake was a beautiful, dazzling blue, and Katy said to herself, "e;After all, a year is not very long, and how happy I am going to be!"e;'When Mrs Ashe discovers that her visiting nephew has scarlet fever, she sends her young daughter Amy to stay with the Carr family. There, Amy develops a strong attachment to Katy, who treats her like a little sister. Mrs Ashe, grateful for the kindness Katy has shown, invites her to join them on a year-long trip around Europe. Katy is at first reluctant - a year is a long time to be away from her family - but soon she gets swept up in the adventure, which takes her from the historic (but rainy) London streets to the beautiful cities of Nice, Paris and Naples.
