About this book

Eleven-year-old Dolly arrives at her aunt and uncle's house in Philadelphia with a love of reading and a strong sense of being in an unfamiliar world. Her affectionate welcome, a comfortable little bedroom, and talk of going to school establish the domestic setting of Susan Warner's novel. Published in 1880, the story places a thoughtful child's education within a wider concern for Christian conduct and family relationships.

A later scene takes Dolly to Venice, where canals, palaces, carved marble, and local history feed her curiosity. In a shop of old furnishings, her mother's eagerness to buy meets Dolly's practical concern about expense. Warner builds character through these conversations, letting affection, taste, and money pull people in different directions.
