Book description
What Katy Did by Susan Coolidge is a classic much loved by
adults and children alike.
Katy Carr intends to be beautiful and beloved and as sweet as an
angel one day. For now, though, her hair is forever in a tangle, her
dress is always torn and she doesn't care at all for being called
'good'. But then a terrible accident happens and Katy must find the
courage to remember her daydreams and the delightful plans she once
schemed; for when she is grown up she wants to do something grand . . .
A wonderful, family story, with an inspiring introduction from the
hugely popular Cathy Cassidy.
