Publisher Description
A 14-year-old country girl, Polly Milton, visits her friend Fanny Shaw and her wealthy family in the city for the first time. Poor Polly is overwhelmed by the splendor and their urbanized, fashionable lifestyles, expensive clothes and other habits she has never been exposed to. Fanny's friends reject her because of her different behavior and simple clothing, and Fan herself can't help considering her unusual sometimes. However, Polly's warmth, support and kindness eventually win the hearts of all, and her old-fashioned ways teach them a lesson.

A great old-fashioned tale
Loved every word! I wish the movie based in this book did it more justice. I do hope they can make a series. I will enjoy it tremendously. I’m glad to know that Louisa May Alcott wrote other great books beside Little Women. I’m reading The Inheritance next! So the movie and really liked it.
I loved it
I can’t say more, I loved it!!!
louisa may alcott is a genius writer
i love this book. it gave me a splendid scope to fantasise about a light academy self through polly and has been a good comfort in a somewhat anxious time.
in books we love poverty, but in life we dread it. it shouldn’t be like that. little is good enough. and the way that is written and presented in this book is very fine.
