Pollyanna & Pollyanna Grows Up: The Classic Children’s Literature 2-Book Collection (Annotated)

Unique Elements Historical context Detailed 20th century analysis A Collection of Two Unmissable Literary Classics by Eleanor H. Porter Pollyanna and Pollyanna Grows Up by US author Eleanor H. Porter are works of inspirational children’s fiction first published in 1913-1915 in the US. These novels are established children’s literature classics, with an uplifting and ever-relevant message of the importance of looking for the positive when life brings trials and challenges. Excerpt ‘Oh, of course I’d be BREATHING all the time I was doing those things, Aunt Polly, but I wouldn’t be living. You breathe all the time you’re asleep, but you aren’t living. I mean living–doing the things you want to do: playing outdoors, reading (to myself, of course), climbing hills, talking to Mr. Tom in the garden, and Nancy, and finding out all about the houses and the people and everything everywhere all through the perfectly lovely streets I came through yesterday. That’s what I call living, Aunt Polly. Just breathing isn’t living!.’ Synopsis Upon her arrival in the fictional Vermont town of Beldingsville to live with her stern and conscientious maiden aunt, Pollyanna immediately begins to uplift the lives of those around her. Pollyanna’s ‘glad game,’ in which she looks to find a silver lining in every cloud, has a transformative effect on the sick, lonely, and dejected – until something so awful occurs that even Pollyanna is at a loss for how to see the positive.
