Karoleena

About this book

Summary, from inside jacket cover: This is the story of a little girl named Karoleena, who lived long ago in a little town that was not in America. She tried so very hard to behave in the very proper way little girls were supposed to in those days. But somehow everything Karoleena did turned into trouble. There was the chicken she tried to take for a walk, for instance, and the goat that liked straw hats, and as for the mud bath! That was an escapade! It is also the story of the little town with its stone fountain and market place and the quaint resort in the mountains where Karoleena spent the summer. Charlotte Steiner [the author] lived in just such a place when she was a little girl, and her charming pictures and text make it come gaily to life.
