{"product_id":"an-old-fashioned-girl-louisa-may-alcott-9781523727049","title":"An Old-Fashioned Girl","description":"This large print edition is a faithful reproduction of this book's first edition. In the words of the author, this book is \"about the good old fashions which make a woman truly beautiful and honored, and through her, render home what it should be - a happy place, where parents, and children, brothers and sisters, learn to love and know and help one another.\" Polly Milton, an old-fashioned girl, visits her wealthy friend Fanny Shaw in the city and is overwhelmed by the fashionable urban life they live. But Polly is also left out because of her \"countrified\" manners and outdated clothes. Fanny's friends reject Polly because of her \"different\" behavior and simple clothing. Fanny herself can't help considering Polly \"unusual\" sometimes. However, Polly's warmth, support and kindness eventually win the Shaws' hearts, and her old-fashioned ways teach them a lesson. Six years later, Polly comes back to the city to become a music. Polly learns that the prosperous Shaws are really on the brink of bankruptcy. She guides them to the realization that a wholesome family life is much more important than money or fashion. With the comfort of the ever-helpful Polly, the Shaws change for the better and discover a happier life. After being rejected by his fianc e, Trix, Tom procures a job out West, with Polly's brother Ned, seeking to help his family and compensate for all the money he has wasted in frivolous expenditures.
