Annie Fellows Johnston (1863-1931) wrote the Little Colonel series of children’s books in Peewee Valley, Kentucky, 5 miles from my house. Though they were popular enough to become a Shirley Temple movie, they were about a retired Confederate colonel. The Confederate Retirement Home was also in Peewee Valley, no coincidence. Today the Little Colonel Playhouse in Pewee Valley is going strong.
