Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation - including this new resized edition of What Katy Did, complete with a bold new cover.
'I will do it tomorrow. How often we all do so and what a pity it is that when morning comes and tomorrow is today we so frequently wake up feeling quite differently. . . '
Katy Carr intends to be beautiful and beloved and as sweet as an angel one day. For now, though, her hair is always in a tangle, her dress is always torn and she doesn't care at all for being called 'good'. But then a terrible accident happens and Katy must find the courage to remember her daydreams and the delightful plans she once schemed!
