VIRAGO CLASSICS: WHAT KATY DID

One of my all-time favourite books. It's a very lively, funny story' Jacqueline
Wilson Katy has grand plans to be beautiful, graceful and ladylike ... one day!
But for now she has hair that is always tangled, bootlaces undone, a torn dress
and she doesn't care about being 'good'. With a wild imagination and high
spirits, she is always up to mischief, but there never has been a heroine as
lovable as Katy. Then a terrible accident happens and it takes all her courage -
and hard-learned patience - to keep her dreams alive. 'Katy speaks with a charm
and directness that remains as fresh as when it was written' Amanda Craig 'This
was one of my favourite books as a child. The children felt real enough to
touch, and I fell head over heels in love with Katy. It's a book with an
unstoppable heart' Katherine Rundell This collection of the best in children's
