Pollyanna
Orphaned at eleven, Pollyanna Whittier is sent to live with her stern, dutiful Aunt Polly in a small Vermont town, bringing along the one thing her late father left her: the Glad Game, a habit of finding something to be glad about in even the worst news. Her relentless good cheer slowly thaws the town’s lonely and bitter souls, from a shut-in invalid to Aunt Polly herself. Then an accident leaves Pollyanna unable to play her own game, and the people she has helped rally around her. Eleanor Porter’s bestseller was so popular that ‘Pollyanna’ entered the language as a word for stubborn optimism. A warm, much-loved children’s classic. Free to read as a PDF and EPUB edition.
