Book Review of An Old-Fashioned Girl

An Old-Fashioned Girl
reviewed on + 3352 more book reviews


Alcott wrote for the high school age girl of her day (1870s). Her books are still relevant for the girl who wants to live an adventurous, ethical life fulfilling her full potential. Polly Milton visits rich friends and almost falls for the fashionable world surrounding her. Yet somehow she clings to her "country" ways and ends up finding out they are really the best. Written with humor, sympathy, and an eye for an interesting plot - this is a good story.
