An Old-Fashioned Girl was first serialised in the Merry's Museum magazine between July and August in 1869 and consisted of only six chapters.

Polly visits her wealthy friend Fanny Shaw in the city and is overwhelmed by the fashionable and urban life they live––but also left out because of her "countrified" manners and outdated clothes.

"""As a preface is the only place where an author can with propriety explain a purpose or apologize for shortcomings; I venture to avail myself of the privilege to make a statement for the benefit of my readers.""As the first part of “An Old-Fashioned Girl” was written in 1869; the demand for a sequel; in beseeching little letters that made refusal impossible; rendered it necessary to carry my heroine boldly forward some six or seven years into the future. The domestic nature of the story makes this audacious proceeding possible; while the lively fancies of my young readers will supply all deficiencies; and overlook all discrepancies."" -Preface by Louisa May Alcott"
