What Katy Did Next

Product Information

The other children are delightful too. Clover is a little sweetheart—Elsie is a darling—Dorry, Phil, & Johnnie are super cute and funny—Cecy is sweet. Cousin Helen is wonderful; Papa is one of the best fictional fathers ever; Aunt Izzy is such a thought-provoking character and you do grow fond of her. The servants are all funny and stand out from each other, as do all the townspeople. Coolidge nailed the art of creating unimportant but interesting people. Katy walks by and sees the forlorn girl. When she learns of the situation, she offers to have the girl stay with her family. Katy’s sister, Clover, is next in age to her. The two girls both go to a nearby school where they manage to get into quite a lot of mischief. The other children are Elsie, Dorry the eldest boy, Joanna, and little Phil, who is the baby of the family. Katy is kind to her younger siblings, but dreams of doing something “grand” with her life one day. Perhaps she will paint famous pictures, or save the lives of drowning people, or lead a crusade on a white horse. She also wants to be: “beautiful, of course, and good if I can.” Even some people who aren't really familiar with this one recognise it as the one where she gets a marriage proposal on a gondola in Venice. And cover designers understandably make the most of that.

Susan Coolidge shared her publisher, Roberts Brothers, with Louisa May Alcott, and What Katy Did helped satisfy the demand for naturalistic novels about girlhood that followed the 1868 success of Little Women.

While she is a girl, she sometimes seems like a boy. So, now I've read the full series of Katy books. 1) What Katy Did 2) What Katy Did at School and now, finally 3) What Katy Did Next. The beginning of his song is Doherty singing about doing lots of heroin after the break up, and how there was nothing she could do about it.

Dorry Carr: a stolid boy and great eater, the fourth Carr is the eldest son. He develops a certain mechanical skill over time. As an adult, I appreciated the leadership lesson and the fact that people who have strong leadership qualities can lead other people astray. Having these qualities actually means that you have a responsibility to learn to use them wisely and not lead others off the cliff. This article does not cite any sources.

What Katy Did is an 1872 children's book written by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey under her pen name "Susan Coolidge". It follows the adventures of a twelve-year-old American girl, Katy Carr, and her family who live in the fictional lakeside Ohio town of Burnet in the 1860s. Katy is a tall untidy tomboy, forever getting into scrapes but wishing to be beautiful and beloved.
