This 1897 short story is about Polly, a little girl who grows up on a southern plantation with her adoring father, "the Colonel," and black servants, mainly Thom and his wife Cynthia. Polly and her boyhood friend, Bob, fall in love, much to the dismay of her father, who is terrified at the prospect of losing her. Polly, nonethless, runs off with Bob and gets married. They hope to reconcile with the Colonel on Christmas Day, but it's not certain that the Colonel is going to have any part of it.

This edition of the book contains the six original illustrations, rejuvenated, and four additional illustrations that are unique to this edition of the book.

Thomas Nelson Page (April 23, 1853 – November 1, 1922) was a lawyer and American writer. He also served as the U.S. ambassador to Italy under the administration of President Woodrow Wilson during World War I.

Born at Oakland, one of the Nelson family plantations, in the village of Beaverdam in Hanover County, Virginia to John Page, a lawyer and a plantation owner, and Elizabeth Burwell (Nelson). He was a scion of the prominent Nelson and Page families, each First Families of Virginia. Although he was from once-wealthy lineage, after the American Civil War, which began when he was only 8 years old, his parents and their relatives were largely impoverished during Reconstruction and his teenage years.

Page wrote many novels and short stories that romanticized the condition of the South after the Civil War.
