The Old-Fashioned Girl

"The Old-Fashioned Girl" is a famous novella by Louisa May Alcott, an American writer known for her renowned book "Little Women", which brought her worldwide fame and remains one of the most significant works of American literature. From early childhood,... Polly learned that the main values in life are hard work, mutual support, and compassion. She is convinced that true happiness or love cannot be bought. However, when she visits her friend Fanny, Polly feels like a white crow: her modesty and simplicity, her undemanding dresses seem infinitely old-fashioned in the luxurious house, where girls flaunt bright outfits in the company of young suitors… However, Polly's "old-fashionedness", her kindness, and common sense turn out to be significantly more important than "fashionable skills and manners."
