More DescriptionThis is the story of Polly Milton, a fourteen-year-old country girl who comes to town to spend a season with her friend Fanny Shaw. Polly is very impressed by Fanny's life so different from hers. She is always in fashion and likes to flirt with young people. Polly meets people her own age, goes to the theater, and returns home convinced that while life in the city is pleasant, it is not everything. The story continues six years later, when Polly returns to town to stay with Mrs. Mills and give music lessons. By then, Tom, Fanny's brother, is engaged to a hostile and ambitious young woman. Fanny likes Sydney who is also attracted to Polly, but she loves it ... it really shows us that glamor, fashion, gossip or things like that don't matter, but truth and an innocent heart. Recommended reading from 12 years.
