Publisher Description
I have married a mountain woman, he wrote. "None of your puny breed of modern femininity, but a remnant left over from the heroic ages, -- a primitive woman, grand and vast of spirit, capable of true and steadfast wifehood. No sophistry about her; no knowledge even that there is sophistry. Heavens! man, do you remember the rondeaux and triolets I used to write to those pretty creatures back East. Pollyanna is a best-selling 1913 novel by Eleanor H. Porter that is now considered a classic of children's literature, with the title character's name becoming a popular term for someone with the same optimistic outlook.
Customer Reviews
A delightful story!
An incredible lesson is to be learned from the reading of this book - a lesson that the whole world could benefit so greatly for learning how to be not only glad but grateful as well. Those 800 verses in the Bible that Pollyanna’s father discovered - if we all read these and were able to applied these blessings of bringing joy to everyone we know it would be a beautiful world .
Pollyanna
Beautifully written novel chock full of life lessons and attitude adjustments to less than ideal circumstances. Ageless, timeless and relevant in any age.
