This edition includes the following editor's introduction: "What Katy Did," a universal children's classic
Originally published in 1875, “Nine Little Goslings” is a collection of nine short stories by American children's writer Susan Coolidge, author of “What Katy Did.”
Aimed very much at the young reader all will enthral, and for those who are fans of Katy, the first story is about Johnnie (sister to Katy and Clover) and set a year after “What Katy Did at School.”
“Nine Little Goslings” is a highly recommended collection of cute stories. Some sweet, some entertaining, some sad and some slightly bewildering in perspective of what the ideal child should be.
