Overview

Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket In a town where rules are strict and smiles are scarce, an irrepressibly joyful orphan arrives with a game that turns sorrow into hope. Pollyanna's unwavering belief in finding something to be glad about in every situation begins to work its quiet magic, softening hearts and transforming lives-from her cold, distant aunt to the town's most bitter recluse. But when an unexpected tragedy shakes her world, the very optimism she has shared with others is put to the ultimate test. As the town rallies around her, Pollyanna must discover if the power of gladness is strong enough to mend even the deepest wounds. First published in 1913, Pollyanna became a cultural phenomenon, shaping the way people viewed optimism and resilience in the face of hardship. The novel's message of finding joy in every situation resonated so deeply that ""Pollyanna"" entered the English language as a term for unwavering positivity. Its influence extended beyond literature, inspiring adaptations in film, theater, and even psychology, where the ""Pollyanna principle"" describes the human tendency to focus on the positive. More than a century later, its legacy endures as a testament to the transformative power of hope and kindness.
