Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker.
Here is the first episode of Louisa May Alcott’s delightful book, An Old-Fashioned Girl. Here we meet Polly Milton as she leaves her home in the country to go visit Fanny Shaw, who lives in town and is already quite a young lady. Polly, who is nearly the same age as Fanny, still considers herself a young girl. She doesn’t have the fancy clothes and big city sensibilities Fanny does, but somehow her kind and friendly manners and her old-fashioned courtesy endear her to everyone, even Tom, who plays a mean trick on his sister while the group is making molasses candy.

All too soon, the doctor’s visit must come to an end, but in the spring, perhaps he will return, and bring Clara and even Grandmama with him. In the meantime, Heidi is just so happy to be home with Grandfather in their cozy mountain hut.

Finally back in her mountain home so dear, Heidi has to visit Grandmother, and go out to the pasture with the goats, and listen to the music of the wind in the fir trees.

The lessons Heidi teaches him will change their lives for the better.
Meanwhile, back in Frankfort, the Sesemann household is preparing for a journey, not for Clara, as she is not strong enough yet, but for the doctor, who is to visit Heidi and take love, greetings, and many packages for the residents of the little mountain meadow.

She has already made a great friend and ally in Sebastian, and after an episode with some kittens, she knows she can rely on him to help her.

Let’s go with Heidi as she accompanies Goat Peter to the high mountain pastures with the herd of jumping, bleating, engaging animals. Heidi soon learns each goat’s name and little characteristics. She has never been so happy in her life, and when the sun begins to go down and colors the mountains in a rosy glow, Heidi feels that she is in the most beautiful spot in the world. All summer long she enjoys the mountains, and when winter comes, not only is the snow a different kind of beauty, but Heidi goes on a fast sled ride down to visit Goat Peter’s grandmother and finds in her another person to love.
