"Eleanor Porter's Pollyanna is widely considered a classic of children's literature.
Pollyanna is a kind novel advocating an optimistic outlook, which is summarized in a famous quote 'When you look for the bad in mankind expecting to find it, you surely will'. Pollyanna, a young orphan, is living with her stern aunt, who is taking care of her out of 'sense of duty'. Under any circumstances Pollyanna prefers to see only their best side, taking joy in simplest things, she affects everyone around her. Hence a popular term 'Pollyannaism', or the Pollyanna Principle, a subconscious bias towards the positive. The tale of Pollyanna will undoubtedly infect the reader with cheer and gladness."
"Powieść 'Pollyanna' należy do światowego kanonu literatury. Opisuje losy tytułowej bohaterki Pollyanny, niezwykłej jedenastoletniej dziewczynki, obdarzonej ujmującym charakterem i promieniującej pogodą ducha. Naturalna radość, troskliwość i miłość do innych nie gasną w dziewczynce nawet wobec najtrudniejszych doświadczeń życiowych. Wręcz odwrotnie. To nie tragiczne sytuacje i nieprzychylni ludzie zmieniają Pollyannę, to ona zmienia otaczający ją świat na lepsze. Tak się dzieje, kiedy osierocona dziewczynka trafia na wychowanie do domu bogatej ciotki Polly. Surowa i nieprzychylna ciotka zmienia się stopniowo, a wraz z nią wiele innych osób z jej otoczenia. Dobro czyni dobro i powraca. Tak się dzieje w najtrudniejszych życiowych przygodach, jakich doświadcza bohaterka. Tryumf dziewczęcej ufności, radości i opiekuńczości nad bolesnymi zrządzeniami losu i goryczą ludzi zapewnił Pollyannie ponadczasową popularność. Powieść odniosła tak wielki sukces wydawniczy na całym świecie, że jej autorka napisała drugą część, Pollyanna dorasta, a pięciu innych znanych pisarzy wykorzystało postać bohaterki w swoich powieściach dla dzieci i młodzieży.
Pollyanna była wielokrotnie ekranizowana w kinie i telewizji."
"When a newly orphaned boy with a violin shows up in a small town, his unnique perspective transforms everyone.
When David comes on the scene, The Holly family, and much of the town, have done things for so long they don't even realize they are in a rut. David's innocence and naivete bring with it his own set of assumptions, opinions, and expectations. Because of the care his father had taken to keep him from the 'bad' – or painful – things in life, there is so much he can't even begin to fathom at first. The collision of these two worlds is what drives this story onward. David had never experienced poverty or wealth as most would think of it.
Join David as he discovers the world.
Originally published in 1916

"Eleanor H. Porter’s most famous literary creation is Pollyanna, but she isn’t the only precocious young girl to spring from the author’s pen. Mary Marie Anderson describes herself as “a cross-current and a contradiction', the offspring of incompatible parents who couldn’t even agree about her name. When the two divorce when she is thirteen, Mary Marie is delighted since she’s always liked being different. None of the other girls have two homes and spend six months with each parent! Father will remain in their small town and mother will live in Boston with her family.
This exciting development persuades Mary Marie to keep a diary that she plans to turn into a novel. Surely one of her parents will remarry and provide the romance to spice up her story. But adolescence is not an easy time of life, and harsh reality intervenes when she discovers that 1920s America is not always tolerant of divorce. Over time, being fun-loving Marie in the city and sober Mary in the country becomes confusing and wears thin. She’s always liked being different, but not being two different girls! Worst of all, why can’t either of her parents find someone new and turn her novel into a love story?"
"Just David is the story of David, an innocent and sweet little boy of 10 who is suddenly transplanted from a quiet, shut away world of music (he plays the violin) in the mountains with only his father for company, to the hustle and bustle of a normal small town. He is a boy filled with love of music and love of people. Yes, he has a good sweet heart and it comes through in this novel. Kind of like Pollyanna, it is a story of how he brings his own character, courage and happiness into the lives of the people he meets, and wins their love and respect. This was the best selling novel of 1916."

"In a small town far out West, 11-year-old Pollyanna loses her mother and then her dad to disease. This book describes how the orphan is sent to be raised by her aunt who lives far away in the East of the country. Unfortunately, her aunt does not want her but accepts her very reluctantly only out of 'duty' and sticks her into a tiny hot attic room so she will be 'out of the way'. What Aunt Polly does not know is that Pollyanna is bringing the game of being 'glad' that her father taught her and that her irrepressible happy attitude will transform not only that dull and miserable house but an entire village before she is through.
Eleanor H. Porter, American novelist, and creator of the Pollyanna series of books generated a popular phenomenon. Hodgman studied singing at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. She gained a local reputation as a singer in concerts and church choirs and continued her singing career after her marriage. By 1901, however, she had abandoned music in favor of writing. Her stories began appearing in numerous popular magazines and newspapers, and in 1907 she published her first novel"

"The orphan girl Pollyanna moves in with her strict aunt in New England. Despite a difficult start, Pollyanna's exuberance and positivity affect everyone who meets her, and she spreads joy and love wherever she goes. But when tragedy strikes, Pollyanna finds her optimistic attitude tested, and she must learn to find happiness again. A heartwarming tale that has become one of the most loved children's stories of all time, Eleanor H. Porter's 1913 best-seller—the first in a long series of Pollyanna novels by the author and other writers—is a beautiful story with a powerful moral message."
