Overview

"First published in 1913, Eleanor H. Porter's Pollyanna is a classic of children's literature that has charmed readers for over a century. While Pollyana may be recently-orphaned, sent to live in a new town, and left in the care of her emotionally distant aunt, her smile never wavers. Subscribing to her father's philosophy of unyielding optimism via ""the Glad game,"" there seems to be no obstacle that she cannot overcome and no heart she cannot melt. Bringing light and love to her new caretaker, Aunt Polly Harrington, and the town of Beldingsville at large, Pollyanna's kindness and sincerity transforms the community from a dreary, downcast place to one beaming with appreciation and happiness. All seems to have changed for the better until Pollyanna becomes the victim of a serious accident that leaves her paralyzed and tests the limits of her faith in silver linings. On the verge of losing their ray of sunshine, the townsfolk must band together to save the spirit of the young girl who has inspired them all.

Author Information

Eleanor H. Porter (1868–1920) was a prolific American novelist who wrote adventure stories, romance fiction and children's literature. While she is best known for Pollyanna (1913) and Just David (1916), it was the former that brought Porter the most recognition and success. Pollyanna would prove to be an instant classic: becoming a bestseller, launching a series of books based around the titular character, and inspiring multiple plays and movies including Walt Disney's 1960 Pollyanna and 1998's Polly.
