Summary "The Little Colonel's Hero" by Annie Fellows Johnston is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story revolves around a young girl named Lloyd Sherman, also known as the Little Colonel, who experiences a poignant twelfth birthday filled with feelings of disappointment and neglect, only to find out that her family has been planning a surprise for her. As she navigates her emotions, the narrative leads her on a journey of self-discovery and adventure, eventually introducing her to a noble St. Bernard named Hero and an endearing bond with a brave old soldier, Major Pierre de Vaux. At the start of the novel, Lloyd feels forgotten on her birthday, as her family is preoccupied with her mother's illness. While riding her pony, Tarbaby, she reflects on her lonely feelings and past joyful birthdays. The beginning of the story captures her inner turmoil, shifting from sadness to hope when she learns of a surprising birthday gift that entails a trip abroad. Following the trip's commencement, the narrative unfolds, showcasing Lloyd's exciting experiences, the friendships she forms, and the recollections that shape her journey, ultimately highlighting themes of loyalty, courage, and the importance of compassion. The initial chapters lay the foundation for the enchanting adventures and life lessons that await her as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
