About This Book

A country girl named Polly moves to live with a more affluent family, and the narrative follows her cheerful practicality and kindness as she navigates social differences, influences the household with straightforward moral sense, and forms friendships while resisting vanity and snobbery; parallel threads chart the younger Tom's growth from teasing boy to more considerate youth, family domestic scenes, moral lessons, and eventual reconciliations that emphasize modest virtues over social pretensions.
