Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter.
"Pollyanna," a novel by Eleanor H. Porter published in 1913, tells the story of an optimistic orphaned girl who comes to live with her austere Aunt Polly Harrington. The narrative revolves around Pollyanna's unyielding cheerfulness and her creation of the "Glad Game," a practice of finding something to be glad about in any situation. Despite Aunt Polly's disapproval and a challenging living environment in an uncomfortable attic room, Pollyanna's bright spirit gradually wins over the hearts of those around her, including the reclusive gentleman John Pendleton and various townsfolk.
As Pollyanna's interactions unfold, the book explores themes of faith, friendship, and resilience in the face of adversity. Her ability to uplift others is tested when she faces her own hardships, including a serious accident that leaves her unable to walk. The story is both a commentary on the power of positive thinking and a reflection on the complexities of human relationships, showcasing how Pollyanna's optimism can inspire change and healing within her community. Ultimately, "Pollyanna" serves as a timeless tale of hope and the transformative impact of joy in everyday life.Copyright Popular Culture and Religion.

    32 - WHICH IS A LETTER FROM POLLYANNA. Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter.
    In a small town far out West, 11 year old Pollyanna loses her mother then her dad to disease. This book describes how the orphan is sent to be raised by her aunt who lives far away in the East of the country. Unfortunately her aunt does not want her but accepts her very reluctantly only out of 'duty' and sticks her into a tiny hot attic room so she will be 'out of the way'. What Aunt Polly does not know is that Pollyanna is bringing the game of being 'glad' that her father taught her and that her irrepressible happy attitude will transform not only that dull and miserable house, but an entire village before she is through.
