Mini Classics. An Old-Fashioned Girl

Classics

The timeless charm of Louisa May Alcott in a short, light, and irresistible story for today’s readers.

Polly is a simple country girl who suddenly finds herself in her wealthy relatives’ Boston home, where everything revolves around fashion, money, and appearances. At first, Polly feels out of place: her clothes are outdated, her manners don’t match high society. But her kindness, authenticity, and independent spirit soon win everyone over.

A classic that explores themes still relevant today: social pressure, authenticity, and respect for differences.
Adapted by one of Italy’s most translated and internationally acclaimed authors.
