Krátky popis
‘And now, Katy, it's your turn. Tell us what you're going to be
when you grow up.’ ‘I’m not sure about what I’ll be,’ replied Katy,
‘beautiful, of course, and good if I can. That’s what I’d like to
be. But now I’ll tell you what I mean to do...’ Tomboyish Katy Carr
is tall, gangling and full of mischief. Constantly scheming and
playing with her brothers and sisters, 12-year-old Katy dreams that
one day she will be ‘beautiful and beloved, and amiable as an
angel’. But goodness and obedience don’t come easily to Katy, who
has promised to be a good stand-in mother to her younger siblings
but finds it difficult to stick to her word. When her bedridden
cousin Helen comes to stay, Katy becomes enchanted with her as the
living embodiment of goodness and light. On the day Helen leaves,
Katy devotes herself to be a shining example of Helen’s behaviour.
But quickly the best of intentions go awry, and a day of mischief
ends in an accident: a serious fall from a swing that seems to
threaten Katy’s grand hopes for the future. But by focusing on the
good humour and strength she witnessed in Helen, Katy eventually
learns to overcome her difficulties in the ‘School of Pain’, and to
practice strength, patience, and hope. Originally published in
1872, and often paired with ‘The Secret Garden’ and ‘Pollyanna’,
‘What Katy Did’ is the classic American tale of childhood, love,
hope and ‘doing good’.&,nbsp,
