Resumen del Editor
Immediately following the success of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott sat down to write An-Old Fashioned Girl, expanding on the subject of rich versus poor that she explored in her first novel. It’s a story of a country mouse and a city mouse: 14-year-old Polly Milton travels to Boston for a stay with her friend Fanny Shaw. The wealthy Shaws’ way of life is foreign to Polly who tries to adapt but is quickly labeled “old-fashioned”. Fanny and her friends dress and behave as their elders do, flirting with boys and gossiping. When Polly breaks free to go sledding, Fan’s rapscallion brother Tom is delighted, but the Shaws explain that it’s not done for young ladies to take this kind of exercise. It takes wise grandmother Shaw to help the girls understand each other.
In her preface, Alcott explains that “the demand for a sequel, in beseeching little letters that made refusal impossible”, made it necessary to advance the story six years when Polly returns to Boston to live independently and in genteel poverty as a piano teacher; Fan is bored with the social life that never changes; and Tom is a mischievous college student and a dandy. Alcott references the budding women’s rights movement, stressing the importance of both women and men finding work with a purpose in it, while steering her characters through the romances and crises of adulthood.

Historia
"White Nights" is one of Dostoyevsky's shorter works told from the standpoint of an ultimate introvert, brought briefly out of his shell by love. It might have been written 170 years ago, but certain aspects of it are very relatable to the modern listener, especially to those of us who gravitate toward solitude and introversion.

Historia
E. M. Forster's first novel is a witty comedy of manners that is tinged with tragedy. It tells the story of Lilia Herriton, who proves to be an embarrassment to her late husband's family as, in the small Tuscan town of Monteriano, she begins a relationship with a much younger Italian man - classless, uncouth, and highly unsuitable. A subtle attack on Edwardian values and a humanely sympathetic portrayal of the clash of two cultures, Where Angels Fear to Tread is also a profound exploration of character and virtue.

Dorothea Brooke is an ardent idealist who represses her vivacity and intelligence for the cold, theological pedant Casaubon. One man understands her true nature: the artist Will Ladislaw. But how can love triumph against her sense of duty and Casaubon’s mean spirit? Meanwhile, in the little world of Middlemarch, the broader world is mirrored: the world of politics, social change, and reforms, as well as betrayal, greed, blackmail, ambition, and disappointment.

Yet all who meet Polly cannot help but be enamored of her; her sweet simplicity is unlike any that they have ever seen, and soon everyone comes to realize that Polly is not someone to be laughed at and ridiculed, but someone to put upon a pedestal for failing to become willing prey to the cynicism of the times.

Historia
The short story, "An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving" by Louisa May Alcott first appeared in the collection Aunt Jo's Scrap Bag. Set in New Hampshire in the 1800s, it is a simple, yet charming story of a family Thanksgiving in an earlier, more innocent time. When their parents are called away to visit a sick relative, the girls try to put together a Thanksgiving dinner all on their own. Of course a few things go wrong, as this is the first time the children cook such a big dinner, but ultimately, all turns out well, and there’s much to be thankful for.

Lovely Story!
Any additional comments?
This is a great book and very nicely narrated. It describes the coming of age of a family and their friend around the 1860s. The main character, Polly is a little bit perfect but loveable nonetheless. She is poor while her friends are rich but she is able to influence and enrich their lives, The story reveals behavior, customs, and values of the times in a very charming way, I will be relistening to this!

Classic Louis May Alcott
Louisa May Alcott's trademark style is very much in evidence in this charming tale.
Young Polly goes to the big city, lives with rich friends, and shows them how to live a purer, more noble life. All the usual Alcott themes are present: the importance of family; poverty vs wealth; women as agents of improving men; attention to charity; marrying for money vs marrying for love. At times the moralizing gets a little heavy but the charm of the story is enough to make a reader to forgive and keep reading (or listening).
The narrator did a fine job with her reading and it was obvious that she enjoyed the story. A pleasure to listen to.

On old-fashioned grand time
A classic to be sure.
I loved everything about this story. If only the younger generation could grasp more of these old-fashion values that Polly displays.
Ms Hancock is a marvelous storyteller. She captures the innocence of Polly, the petulance of Fanny and still has fun playing off Tom’s naughtiness.

An Old-Fashioned Story
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This novel for young readers by Louisa May Alcott is the product of her society and needs to be seen in that light. Polly is a good example of modesty, decency, and hard-work created by the author to inspire young and impressionable girls of the era. That "subliminal" technique would not work as well on this generation and I doubt many of them would find this well-written story very inspiring. I know I'm being a little cynical, but unfortunately I think that might be an indisputable truth.
My hope however is that the popularity of Ms. Alcott other novels, such as "Little Women", might entice some young readers to want to explore this classic author's other works. The story is clean, pleasant, and even though the ending was easy to imagine, we still rooted for that to happen. A good read even for a young pre-teen with advanced skills.
The "read" narration was good, and delivered with enough emotions behind it.
