The fantastic 1869 novel by Louisa May Alcott (the author of Little Women) follows the story of country girl Polly Milton who goes to visit her wealthy friend Fanny Shaw in the city and finds herself both overwhelmed by the city folks' fashionable lifestyle, as well as embarrassed of her own manners and clothes.
A 14-year-old country girl, Polly Milton, visits her friend, Fanny Shaw, and her wealthy family in the city for the first time. Poor Polly is overwhelmed by the splendor and their urbanized, fashionable lifestyles, expensive clothes and other habits she has never been exposed to. Fanny's friends reject her because of her different behavior and simple clothing, and Fan herself can't help considering her unusual sometimes. However, Polly's warmth, support and kindness eventually win the hearts of all, and her old-fashioned ways teach them a lesson.
