Rendition Supposing Books An Old-Fashioned Girl

It was first serialised in the Merry's Museum magazine between July and August in 1869 and consisted of only six chapters. For the finished product, however, Alcott continued the story from the chapter "Six Years Afterwards" and so it ended up with nineteen chapters in all. The book revolves around Polly Milton, the old-fashioned girl who titles the story. Polly visits her wealthy friend Fanny Shaw in the city and is overwhelmed by the fashionable and urban life they live--but also left out because of her "countrified" manners and outdated clothes.

Cute story but I did not enjoy it as much as Little Women.

Re-reading for the no-ideath time. :) Like this book a lot, although I always wondered how Polly and Fanny ever became friends in the first place with how extremely different they were. Can't help loving the way the romance eventually works out, too...And am I allowed to say I love the LibriVox dramatic reading even though I had a hand in making it? Seriously, though, everyone did such a great job! <3<3Content--a few uses of "the deuce" and "the devil"; one kiss (not descriptive); arguing

This is one of Louisa May Alcott's lesser known novels, but it is a good one ... in my opinion it's one of her best. I read it back when I was thirteen and I think it really shaped my adolescence. I kind of embraced being old fashioned because of this book. Polly is so thrifty and I loved the idea of being creative and saving money, especially as a poor teenager. It's a good book ... especially for younger girls, or older ones that like remembering simpler times.

This old book is such a sweet story of growth and womanhood. It is amazing to see the good life lessons taught throughout. Polly or Mary as they were the same name, just makes you fall in love with her. She is not overly perfect, struggles in her life, but I love how you fall in love with her. I would recommend this book to anyone, both young or old, to enjoy!

I ended up enjoying this more than I expected to at the beginning, but it didn't make me care as much as Little Women. I think it's because a child was teaching children and adults to be better people, rather than an adult with life experience. It took longer for me to see the characters as individuals rather than caricatures. I was rooting for characters at the end, though, so I did care more than I thought.

Update 2019: I love it even more.2018I went into this book knowing it would be good, and needing a little old-fashioned, (to shamelessly quote Phil Coulson), but I had no idea that it would take me on such a roller-coaster of emotions. I experienced just about every feeling under the sun while reading An Old-Fashioned Girl... and that's the true magic of storytelling. Polly"I dont want a religion that I put away with my Sunday clothes, and dont take out till the day comes round again; I want

When this first started, I wondered why I loved this book so much years ago (I always saw this title and thought, "I LOVE that book" although I couldn't remember a thing about it)! Polly didn't seem very endearing in her young years, but the chapter where six years have passed, I begin to enjoy her merits much more. And yes, she became very endearing.What a sweet tale, with a lovely, classic style of writing. I've always loved Louisa May Alcott's way of describing things, and she brought this
