The beloved little girl from Kentucky blossoms into womanhood in the final book of this classic children's series set in Reconstruction Kentucky.
Kentucky girl Lloyd Sherman, known to one and all as the Little Colonel, embarks on her final adventure in The Little Colonel's Knight Comes Riding. When Lloyd and her friends returns home from Washington, D.C., they find that the boys they grew up with have matured into graceful young men.
