In this book Katy Carr's neighbour Mrs Ashe has her nephew over who develops scarlet fever, which the Carr Family helps the unfortunate lady fight through. Amy, Mrs Ashe's daughter, is sent to stay with the Carr Family so as to avoid getting scarlet fever. Amy takes to Katy very kindly. Later Mrs Ashe (who later Katy starts to affectionately call "Polly Dear") decides to go on a tour of Europe and requests that Dr Carr allow Katy to accompany Mrs Ashe and Amy on the trip. Katy is initially reluctant (family obligations) but soon gets into the spirit of things. Before starting the tour, Katy goes to meet her friend Rose Red in Boston who is now married with a young daughter. She also meets Rose Red's mother and grandmother. The grandmother takes to Katy and later when Katy is buying gifts when she is on tour she remembers to buy something for the grandmother. Some girls of the Hillsover school (ref: What Katy Did At School) meet up again who were in the Secret Society they had which Katy was President of and they reminisce and joke. Lily, Katy's cousin, is in Europe already. The initial part of the boat trip in which Mrs Ashe, Amy and Katy travel in is difficult as they become ill but they all soon get in stride.

With Cousin Helen's help, Katy makes her room tidy and nice to visit and gradually all the children gravitate to it, coming in to see her whenever they can. She becomes the heart of the home, beloved by her family for her unfailing kindness and good cheer. After two years Aunt Izzie dies and Katy takes over the running of the household. At the end of four years, in a chapter called "At Last", she learns to walk again. Dorry Carr is six he and his sister Johnnie are very close and like to do everything together. Dorry is a boy, but can seem a bit like a girl. The lively Katy is now bedridden and suffering terrible pain and bitterness. Her room is dark, dreary, and cluttered with medicine bottles; when her siblings try to comfort her, she drives them away. However, a visit from Cousin Helen shows her that she must either learn to make the best of her situation or risk losing her family's love.

I think Susan Coolidge did like traveling, though -- I read all the miseries in this book as partly realism, partly warning her (wealthy young American) readers not to expect their own European tours to be completely comfortable. But she liked traveling for the same reasons Katy does -- seeing picturesque new sights, meeting places previously known from books, and perhaps a bit of shopping (presents for friends of course!). What Katy Did was followed by four sequels: What Katy Did at School in which Katy and Clover attend the fictional Hillsover School (set in Hanover, New Hampshire); What Katy Did Next, in which a new friend of Katy's takes her on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe; Clover, in which Katy is married and Clover accompanies her brother Phil to Colorado after he falls ill; and In the High Valley, which shows the lives of a handful of young people living in the High Valley in Colorado, including Clover, Elsie and their husbands.
