The Little Colonel's Knight Comes Riding, written by Annie F. Johnston in the early 20th century, is a juvenile fiction novel that continues the adventures of Gay Melville in Lloydsboro Valley. As summer unfolds, Gay navigates friendships and budding romances, particularly with Alex Shelby, a medical student. This installment explores themes of courtship and marriage customs within a close-knit Kentucky community, while also hinting at the future of the beloved Little Colonel character. It serves as a charming conclusion to the Little Colonel series, though Johnston would later expand the narrative in the Mary Ware series.
