The Felcity book series is very interesting and fun. In this book Felcity Merriman is a spunky and independant girl growing up in the 1770`s. In the first book Felcity must rescue a copper colored mare named Penny who is being badly abused by her owner Jiggy Nye. In the second book Felcity`s parents send her to manner lessons where she must learn to be a proper lady even though she would rather be riding side saddle atop a horse. In the 3rd book Felcity`s mother is ill and Felcity is invited to a fancy ball. It is also Christmas time and everyone if hoping for a Christmas miracle for Felcity`s mother to live. In the 4th book it`s time for Felcity`s birthday and her grandfather comes to visit and gives her a beautiful guitar and a sweet lamb named Posie. Then the guitar is ruined because Felcity left it in the rain for sure everyone will be mad. She hopes her grandfather will still trust her though. Will he or will he not? In the fifth bookw hich is my favorate Felcity`s father`s apperentice "Ben" has run away to join the army which breaks the contract between Felcity`s Father.When Felcity finds Ben he`s injured and Felcity must do what`s right to help. In the last book which is the sixth Felicity`s has her horse Penny back now and now Penny is pregnant with a foal then Penny`s labor turns for the worst. In the end Felcity must consult her old enemy,Jiggy Nye to help save her.You`ll really enjoy this series so please check it out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely story collection in new and delightful format!, September 30, 2008

By	M. Vitek "MagTag" (Hilton Head Island, SC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Felicity Story Collection (American Girl) (Hardcover)

Superb collection of the six volume stories about Felicity, the young woman from Williamsburg Virginia in the 1770s. Wonderful to have a single hardcover volume with all the stories. Very good pricing, especially at Amazon. However, you should know that the historical sections found at the end of each of the six stories in the bookset are not included in this volume. Only one historical section is at the very end. Still excellent and super value. A book to be treasured!

4.0 out of 5 stars Warm and wonderful introduction to US history, June 24, 2007

By	Ritand Wright "BookLover" (Princeton, NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Felicity's Story Collection (American Girls Collection) (Hardcover)

I stumbled across this series when trying to prepare my daughters for a trip to Williamsburg, VA. Aware of the dolls, I assumed that the writing would be bland, long advertisement for the dolls, but I was mistaken. Ms.Tripp does an admirable job creating a charming character in a world rich with interesting detail that captured and held the interest of my 8 and 10 year old girls, while interesting them into the culture that existed at the time. My girls were thrilled to tour Williamsburg after reading about it. It made the experience real for them. My only hesitation is that in several of the stories, Felicity sneaks out and runs away from home for various reasons, and I am wary of that dangerous example for my daughters. I recommend that you read and discuss with your daughters.
