"Polly in New York" by Lillian Elizabeth Roy is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This story follows the adventures of Polly Brewster, a young girl who has left her rural Colorado home for the bustling city life in New York. The narrative captures her impressions as she navigates this new urban environment, with her friends Eleanor and Anne, and introduces themes of adaptation and friendship. The opening of the novel sets the stage for Polly's first journey away from home, expressing her awe and trepidation as she travels by train, observes the busy streets of Chicago, and finally arrives in New York City. Polly's personality emerges as curious and outspoken, providing humorous observations about the city and its inhabitants, particularly as she attempts to adjust her expectations to the realities of urban life. The beginning depicts her excitement mixed with candid critiques of city life, setting a rich backdrop for her adventures to come in the big city. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
