CLOVER (Children's Classics Series) (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. The Wonderful Adventures of Katy Carr's Sister in ColoradoBy Susan Coolidge
Length6h 44m
About this audiobook
In Clover, Susan Coolidge returns to the beloved Carr family of the What Katy Did sequence, shifting the scene from the domestic bustle of Burnet to the bracing landscapes of Colorado. The novel follows Clover Carr as she accompanies her delicate brother Phil westward for his health, where housekeeping, friendship, courtship, and moral responsibility become the materials of quiet adventure. Written in Coolidge's lucid, affectionate style, the book belongs to the late nineteenth-century tradition of girls' fiction, combining domestic realism, Christian ethical formation, and the expanding geographical imagination of postbellum America. Susan Coolidge was the pen name of Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, an American writer born in 1835 into a cultivated New England family. Her experience as a Civil War nurse, her close observation of family life, and her sympathy for young women's emotional and moral development shaped her fiction. Like Katy Carr, Coolidge's heroines learn self-command not through melodrama, but through service, tenderness, and practical intelligence. This classic is warmly recommended to readers who value character-centered children's literature, historical domestic fiction, and stories of gentle maturation. Clover offers charm, moral seriousness, and an engaging portrait of young womanhood on the threshold of independence.
