Acerca de esta escucha

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.

Jolly Good Time

I dearly love this book, and the narrator did well by LMA. She spoke with intention and understanding of the story. I especially enjoyed the way she marked the passage of time with Maud. It is a lovely audiobook for sewing!

Sweet story, nice narration.

All around great audiobook. No audio issues and a tasteful, if old fashioned (haha) story. Definitely worth the credit for any Louisa May Alcott fan.

Beautiful Story

The values in the story are remarkable. Some bits are odd today, but as you listen longer, it can be realized how on point Polly, the main character, is.

THE BEST BOOK EVER!

It shows that clothes are not important. But your heart and your character are even if you are an old-fashioned girl.

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!

I was gifted a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

hearty, appropriate, and good for the soul.

This has been a favorite book since I was a girl. I enjoyed the narration. I've often recommended this book to young women as ita cute with navy good moral lessons in it, not to mention appropriate love.

Nicely narrated classic

Anne Hancock does a lovely job with this pleasant tale of how an almost too good to be true "old-fashioned girl" bursting with solid American virtues of thrift, modesty, pluckiness, etc. brings sunshine to the lives of a wealthy Boston family. Alcott reveals at one point that she was asked to write a book about young people for young people, and the tone of the story is fairly light and good-humored. It's a cash-in on the success of Little Women and covers a similar theme of how noble poverty forms character--"poverty", of course, meaning not having excess income rather than actually being short of the basic necessities of life.

As in her major works, Alcott is overly fond of editorializing, sermonizing, and digressing into stories within stories, hence my three-star rating for the story itself. I'm sure that style went down well in 1869, but it takes a certain amount of patience in 2018. A good audiobook helps, so this is an excellent bet if you're eager to explore more of Alcott's work. I can't fault Hancock's reading, which was lively, a delight to listen to, and perfectly suited to the text.
