ABOUT THIS BOOK

Pollyanna, the orphaned eleven-year-old who has moved to live with her cold maiden aunt Polly
after her father’s death, doesn’t seem to have much to look forward to in life. Thankfully, Pollyanna has a special power—the ability to be glad about whatever comes her way. She calls it the ‘glad game.’ When tragedy strikes, Pollyanna’s optimistic attitude is severely tested, until she learns to find happiness again. Pollyanna is ranked among the best-selling novels and has stood the test of time as it finds a place among the most loved children’s stories.

AUTHOR OF THE BOOK

Eleanor Emily Hodgman (19 December 1868–21 May 1920) was an American novelist whose
most famous novel, Pollyanna (1913), became a popular phenomenon. She was trained as a singer, attending the New England Conservatory for several years. She gained a local reputation as a singer in concerts and church choirs and continued her singing career after her marriage in 1892 to John
L. Porter, a businessman. Porter wrote mainly children’s literature, adventure stories, and romance
fiction.
