Summary

 Pollyanna, an expert at her favorite "Glad Game" of always looking at the bright side in her numerous trials, is one of the most popular and enduring characters in all of children's literature.

As Pollyanna arrives in Beldingsville to live with her strict and dutiful maiden aunt, she exclaims, "Oh, Aunt Polly, I don't know how to be glad enough that you let me come to live with you!" And from this point she begins to bring cheer into everybody's life, including the sick, the lonely, and the just plain miserable. All are transformed until one day when something so terrible happens that even Pollyanna doesn't know how to feel glad anymore.

Although supposedly a child's book, I have much enjoyed this as an adult. Recommended.

A classic

Up there with Anne of Green Gables, heard about this Pollyanna all my life but thought too silly to bother with. At 59 so “glad” I have Polly Anna in my imagination now.

Every little girl and lady should read this 😻

I enjoyed this book. The only fault i found was that, the voice of the young were old. which spoilt it a little. It would be difficult to make it any other way

I checked several other narrators narrating this specific story and yet, couldn't find anyone who narrated better than S.Patricia Bailey. There were several characters in this book and she made sure that all the characters had their own distinct voices, either by increasing the pace at which they talked or by changing their tone and softness. The fact that the Author of this story gave her characters their own unique way of talking made me understand those characters much better while I listened. The story was suspenseful from beginning to end and I couldn't help but listen to it whenever I could catch a minute. I'd recommend this story to anyone who'd like to have a positive perspective in life and see the world from a n innocent child's point of view. Simply amazing it is.

Suspenseful!
