This is my absolute favorite book by Louisa May Alcott. As much as I love Little Women, this is simply the best. Such a heartwarming story of country girl Polly who visits her uptown cousin Fanny. Fanny is a young lady who dresses fabulously and puts on airs. Polly and Fanny are the same age, yet Polly is a girl, free spirited and old fashioned. I adored the ending, and I loved Polly. She is such a cheerful girl who doesn't put on airs like Fanny, she just acts like herself.

I think Little Women does the moral and social commentary much better, this book comes off preachy a lot of times. But it's got a place in my heart, for the childhood nostalgia mostly.

This is one of my re-read books. I've read it over and over again several times. I think I was about 10 or something like that when I first read it. :-D Now I'm 50+. I notice different things now.

Very old-fashioned style and a fair bit of moralizing which is not to modern taste. Definitely hasn't stood the test of time as well as Little Women.
