Lyhyt elämäkerta
Eleanor H. Porter, née Hodgman, was born in Littleton, New Hampshire. She trained as a singer at the New England Conservatory of Music for several years. In 1892, she married John L. Porter, a businessman, and moved to Massachusetts. She continued as a singer in concerts and church choirs but by 1901, had given it up to become a writer. Her short stories began appearing in magazines and newspapers. Her debut novel, Cross Currents, was published in 1907. Her most famous work was Pollyanna (1913), a bestseller that was followed by a sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up (1915).
Pollyanna was adapted into a Broadway play in 1916 and then into a 1920 silent film starring Mary Pickford; another film version was released in 1960. It also launched a vast industry of related books and products.

Mrs. Porter's other bestsellers were Just David (1916), The Road to Understanding (1917), Oh, Money! Money! (1918), Dawn (1919), and Mary-Marie (1920).

This story about Pollyana shows her optimism in the face of trouble and the importance of finding happiness and gratitude even in hard times.

In this sequel to Pollyanna, the young orphan makes a visit to Boston that is full of unpleasant surprises. But even the hardest of times are not enough to permanently disrupt the cheerful outlook of the Glad Girl.

Rebecca Burns does a fine job narrating this children's classic. Overall, I enjoyed it but the (overly) optimistic Pollyanna character is a little grating and to my mind, completely unrealistic. If you thought Louisa May Alcott's books were too sweet, don't read these!

First published in 1913! One of Ms. Gregorich's all-time favorite books! Pollyanna has gotten a bad rap!
