Pollyanna is a best-selling novel by Eleanor H. Porter that is now considered a classic of childrens literature. It tells a fascinating story of 11-year-old orphan girl who faces every challenge of life by playing the Glad Game that she has learnt from her father. The story begins when Pollyanna, after the death of her parents, is sent by the charitable organisation, Ladies Aid, to live with her mothers real sister and her only relative, Aunt Polly.
Aunt Polly is a wealthy and stern lady who lives all by herself with just a nanny, Nancy and a gardener, Tom. Initially, she is not very happy with the news that Pollyanna would be staying with her. But then she thinks that it is her duty to help her dead sisters child, and she is determined to always do her duty. She has never met Pollyanna and is therefore not in the least bit prepared for this child who is unlike any child before or since. Pollyanna, on the other hand, is glad to stay with Aunt Polly as she is the only person she has as her family Pollyanna is a best-selling novel by Eleanor H.
