Annie Fellows Johnston Rare Books

Annie Fellows Johnston Rare Books

Johnston's most popular series of children's books are the Little Colonel Series which take Lloyd Sherman, "the Little Colonel" from age 5 to her decision to marry. Marketed by L. C. Page and Company so that children could request a new one each Christmas. The novels also created a publishing opportunity for their allegories which were published as the Johnston Jewel Series. Later editions were printed with pink covers, blue covers, Shirley Temple movie covers, and a modernized 1960s cover. Holiday editions also kept purchasing opportunities available to Little Colonel fans. In addition, Johnston wrote a number of other novels, including two Georgina books (1916, 1918), and her autobiography, The Land of the Little Colonel. In the latter she states her love for her readers.
