About this eBook

Author Alcott, Louisa May, 1832-1888
Title An Old-Fashioned Girl
Credits Produced by David Reed, and David Widger
Summary "An Old-Fashioned Girl" by Louisa May Alcott is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Polly Milton, a simple country girl who visits her more sophisticated and fashionable city friend, Fanny Shaw. Through Polly's experiences, the narrative explores themes of innocence, simplicity, and the contrast between rural and urban lifestyles. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Polly as she arrives in the city for a visit. The interactions between Polly and Fanny's family, particularly her brother Tom, reveal the cultural and behavioral differences between them. While Fanny immerses herself in city trends, Polly remains true to her old-fashioned upbringing. The opening chapters set the stage for a series of encounters that will challenge Polly’s values and beliefs, as she navigates the complexities of friendship in a society that often prioritizes style over substance.
