LibriVox recording of An Old-Fashioned Girl, by Louisa May Alcott. Read by Jennette Selig.

Polly Milton, a 14-year-old country girl, visits her friend Fanny Shaw and her wealthy family in the city for the first time. Poor Polly is overwhelmed by the splendor at the Shaws' and their urbanized, fashionable lifestyles, fancy clothes and some other habits she considers weird and, mostly, unlikable. However, Polly's warmth, support and kindness eventually win her the hearts of all the family members. Six years later, Polly comes back to the city to become a music teacher. (Summary from wikipedia)

Subject: Great

An old fashioned girl from the old days when people were still real. I agree with the prior two reviewers - excellent book and a great reader.

Subject: A classic book with fantastic narration!

This book is a wonderful classic by Louisa May Alcott and read masterfully by Jennette Selig! I was delightfully caught up in the story of Polly and the Shaw family, right from their childhood in the beginning of the story through their young adulthood as the story progressed. If you're a fan of Alcott's Little Women, then you will definitely enjoy An Old-Fashioned Girl. I also highly commend Ms. Selig's narration, and I hope she reads more books for LibriVox.
