"Polly: A Christmas Recollection" by Thomas Nelson Page is a nostalgic tale set in the American South during the late 19th century. This fictional work captures the warmth and essence of Christmas within a familial and plantation context, revolving around the character of Polly, a spirited young girl who is cherished by her uncle, the Colonel, and her family. The story touches on themes of love, family bonds, and the holiday spirit, showcasing a blend of humor and sentimentality typical of Page's writing. The narrative unfolds during a significant Christmas Eve, where Polly's charm and innocence shine through her interactions with her family and household staff. Central to the storyline is her attachment to Bob, a young man from the neighboring estate, who holds deep feelings for her. Their evolving relationship becomes complicated due to the Colonel's fierce protection of Polly and his initial disdain for Bob’s affections. As the plot progresses, the story culminates in a heartfelt reunion and resolution on Christmas Day where love triumphs over misunderstandings, ultimately creating a celebratory atmosphere that embodies the spirit of the holiday season.
