520 _a"Pretty Polly Perkins" by Ethel Calvert Phillips is a children's novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a little girl named Patty, who experiences joy and loss through her beloved dolls, particularly a new rag doll named Polly Perkins, crafted by her grandmother after an unfortunate accident with her china doll, Isabel. The narrative beautifully captures the innocence and imagination of childhood, highlighting themes of friendship, loss, and the warmth of familial love around Christmas. The opening of the novel introduces Patty's excitement as she visits her grandmother at Four Corners. After tragically breaking her favorite china doll down the stairs, Patty is comforted by her grandmother, who promises to create a new doll for her. Together, they venture to a local store to gather materials, and the anticipation builds as they begin the process of making the rag doll. Grandmother's nurturing efforts result in the creation of Polly Perkins, who quickly becomes dear to Patty's heart. The narrative touches on the bond between Patty and her dolls, emphasizing the imaginative landscape of a child's world where dolls are companions and confidants, setting the stage for further adventures and Christmas festivities.
