About the book

In her delightful novel «Polly Oliver's Problem,» Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin channels her expertise in children's literature to craft a compelling narrative that explores themes of identity, gender roles, and the importance of self-acceptance. Written in the late 19th century, a time when the rights of young women were beginning to be explored, the book features Polly, a spirited girl who grapples with societal expectations while embarking on a journey of self-discovery. Wiggin's prose is characterized by its charming simplicity, rich character development, and vivid descriptions, capturing the essence of childhood with both humor and poignancy. Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin was not only a renowned author but also a dedicated educator and social reformer, particularly interested in the welfare of children. Her own experiences founding a children's home in California provided her with firsthand insights into the struggles that young individuals face, particularly those who diverge from conventional paths. Such experiences greatly informed her portrayal of Polly's dilemma, making her struggles relatable and resonant for young readers of her time and beyond. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of children's literature or the nuanced exploration of youth in a changing society. Wiggin'Äôs empathetic depiction of Polly'Äôs trials encourages readers to reflect on their own notions of conformity and individuality. «Polly Oliver's Problem» offers a timeless message of resilience and self-acceptance, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.
