| Summary | "Polly of the Hospital Staff" by Emma C. Dowd is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Polly May, a spirited young girl staying in a convalescent ward of a hospital, who brings joy to the other young patients through her storytelling and kind-hearted nature. The book unfolds as Polly interacts with her fellow convalescents, nurses, and a doctor, highlighting themes of friendship, bravery, and the importance of caring within the confines of the hospital. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to the children's ward, where the absence of Polly is felt deeply among the other young patients awaiting her return. The opening chapter establishes her as a beloved character who not only entertains her friends with stories but also provides comfort to those around her. Upon her arrival, Polly immediately engages the children, promising a new story, which captures their full attention. The narrative sets the stage for Polly's relationships with the other children and hints at her impending departure from the hospital, revealing her inner struggles and the emotional connections she forms in this temporary home.
