"Polly of Pebbly Pit" by Lillian Elizabeth Roy is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story centers around a young girl named Polly Brewster who lives on a ranch in the unique setting of an extinct volcanic crater in Colorado, known as Pebbly Pit. With her affinity for animals and her strong connection to nature, Polly navigates the interplay of family life, friendships, and the anticipation of new experiences as her family prepares for the arrival of visitors from the city. The opening of the book introduces readers to Polly and her loving relationship with her pet burro, Noddy, who experiences a life-threatening accident. As Polly tends to Noddy's recovery, we learn about her family's simple yet fulfilling life on the farm and meet her father, Sam Brewster, who is a devoted rancher. The narrative swiftly shifts focus with the arrival of a letter from Denver, hinting at the impending visit of city girls, Eleanor and Barbara Maynard, along with their tutor, Anne Stewart. This sets the stage for an exploration of contrasts between rural and urban lifestyles and the adjustments Polly and her family must make with their distinguished guests.
