Children’s Classic Read 2021
How does Pollyanna manage to be so eternally optimistic? How does she spread her bright outlook among the sick, sad, and abrasive people of the town and transform the life of her lonely aunt? It’s the “glad game,” she says, describing the antidote to hardship and depressed spirits. But in a serious accident, the town almost loses its “Glad Girl,” and everyone looks for a way to make this youngster happy again.
Translated into several languages since its original publication in 1913, Pollyanna has been made into a Broadway play, as well as a popular motion picture. One of the best-loved children’s stories of all time, this classic—along with its spirited heroine—will inspire readers for years to come.
Pollyanna
is a 1913 novel by American author Eleanor H. Porter, considered a classic of children’s literature.
The book’s success led to Porter’s soon writing a sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up (1915).
There are more Pollyanna books but apparently not written by Eleanor H. Porter.
I am looking forward to this read and I will get the movie from the library to watch when I am through.
MAY already….just wow!
