"An Old-Fashioned Girl" is a kind and bright novel by Louisa May Alcott, the author of the famous "Little Women". This book is for those who are looking for a cozy read, full of warmth, nostalgia and the charm of the 19th century - with its refined manners, elegant interiors and eternal values. The story tells of Polly Milton, a simple and sincere girl who comes from the province to her rich city friends. Finding herself in a world where fashion, luxury and superficial pleasures reign, Polly does not retreat from her principles of kindness, honesty and hard work. Her resilience and modest charm change those around her over time, reminding them of what is truly valuable. Polly grows up, goes through the trials of friendship, learns to overcome disappointments and, finally, finds love - deep and deserved, which becomes a reward for loyalty to herself and her ideals. The text of the novel is published in English without adaptation and abbreviations.
