Description

The September sun was glinting cheerfully into a pretty bedroom furnished with blue. It danced on the glossy hair and bright eyes of two girls who sat together hemming ruffles for a white muslin dress.

Sadly this was really boring compared to the previous books. Nice to see Rose Red again, but otherwise it was an endless list of things in Europe that are pretty and descriptions of an ill child complaining about being ill.

I did like the part where Amy asked Katy to tell her a story, and the story

she told was "Once upon a time there were two little girls, and they were horrible smashed to death, the end".

Travelling was hard work in those days. Poor little Amy; even before she got sick this kind of adventure wasn't fitting for a small child. At least Katy got to see some of Europe, some of the sights from her books & studies. And she learned more about herself - enough to know what kind of a life

she'd want as she grew into a young woman. I'm enjoying these gracefully written books because they're so old and help me learn about what is old history to me, but clear memories to the author.

The final installment of the "Katy" series. A grown up Katy travels to Europe and finds love. Quite dated now but I enjoyed seeing Europe through late 19th Century American eyes.

I'm sure this is charming, and it caught my attention on Hoopla as a book I'd heard of. I knew nothing about it, not even that it was a children's book. It was written in 1872 and stars 12-year old Katy, though perhaps by the third book in the series, which this is, she is older. I could see it

sparkled. But didn't interest me much unfortunately.
