Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter


Young person or young at heart

          America has always been seen as the ‘Land of Opportunity’, but Eleanor H. Porter made it become the land of ‘Glad’ in 1913 with her introduction of a winsome orphan named Pollyanna.  This waif came to the town of Beldingsville, Vermont and person by person helped each one become better for knowing her.  The spirit of optimism that Pollyanna exhibits shows that each of us can find something that we can relish and be glad for, even in the face of all adversity.
