As one of the gifts for her eleventh birthday Lloyd Sherman, the Little Colonel, is given permission to hold her very own house party. She invites her closest friends from all over the country--Eugenia Forbes of New York City, Joyce Ware of Plainsville, Kansas, and Beth Lewis of Jaynes, Kentucky--to her home in Lloydsboro Valley, Kentucky for her special event.
