What Katy Did is the first book in a series of girl books written in the 19th century by Susan Coolidge. I loved these books when I was a kid, but now - not so much. I really hate the Christian prim moral tale aspect, luckily it's not much. I really love the description of Christmas morning. And I absolutely love Helen. (Even though she's sometimes so dang prim and “good” it makes my teeth ache :-D)
But, but... this was published in 1872, so I suppose one may excuse the Christian moral attitude.
This book takes Katy from age 14 when she had the accident to age 16 or 17 at the end of the book. I think.
BTW, this is one of the books I read about once a year, or so, so I have read this book dozens of times in my life :-D I think this is just the first time I write a review on GoodReads :-D
