The youngest Carr sibling, Phil, takes on a significant role too. After Katy's startlingly simple wedding, Clover's story begins. It's refreshing to have the attention turned to another member of the Carr family, especially when it's loyal and generous Clover, who always rejoiced in Katy's good fortune without a twinge of envy, even when that meant missing out on long trips to Europe herself. It's a simple story, but quite compelling. But I remembered few details from my last read, which was way back in my childhood, and enjoyed this re-read more than ever. I always knew about Clover, because there was an old copy owned by my mother in the bookshelf when I was little. Some readers think this series is a trilogy that ends with What Katy Did Next, but in fact there are two more to round it off. So if you're inspired to carry on with these charming tales of Katy Carr's siblings, they are easy to find and cost nothing!
But in recent years, great strides have been made by generous sites such as Project Gutenberg and even Amazon to bring these old treasures back to life as free e-books.
NOTE: At one time, I wouldn't have reviewed such an old volume on my blog, since it would have been difficult for the average reader to get their hands on.
