«Pollyanna» is the classic children's novel by Eleanor H. Porter, published by Hesperus Minor in paperback (216 pages, in English).
After being orphaned, Pollyanna Whittier is sent to live with her stern Aunt Polly in Vermont. There she counters family rigidity with the «glad game»: always finding a reason to be cheerful despite adversity. Her optimism spreads to the townspeople, until an accident tests her philosophy.
First instalment of the Pollyanna saga. Originally published in 1913; this edition includes a foreword by Anne Fine.
Recommended for readers aged 9 to 12 and for adults wishing to rediscover a classic of children's literature.
