What Katy Did at School (Annotated‪)‬

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: "What Katy Did," a universal children's classic
The Katy series is a set of novels by American children's author Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, who wrote under the pen name of Susan Coolidge. The first in the series, “What Katy Did,” was published in 1872 and followed the next year by “What Katy Did at School.”
The two first novels were followed by three sequels that continued one of the most important collections in children's literature: "What Katy Did Next," "Clover" and "In the High Valley."

When Katy Carr and her sister Clover leave for boarding school, they are weighed down by worry. How will their father manage without their help? Can they ever hope to fit in and make new friends? When the Carr girls arrive, they meet the principal, Mrs Florence, who is tall, dignified and very strict: there are no less than thirty-two rules that students must adhere to! And with Miss Jane always on the prowl to discover the slightest fault, Katy fears that it might be more difficult to stay out of trouble than she’d hoped. But then she meets Rose Red – irrepressible, unconventional, and always full of fun. With the right friends, Katy can’t help but get into all sorts of scrapes.
