I was introduced to Louisa May Alcott's books at the young age of about 7. They remain foremost among my favorites.
An Old Fashioned Girl brings back memories of Polly Milton, and how much I wanted (and still want) to be like her. She was always sweet and kind, even when Fan and Tom antagonized her. Ah. It also brings back memories of not really understanding Polly's heartache when she loves someone, and the strange feeling of understanding it better now. Old books like this hold an inestimable value in my heart.
