Pollyanna
At first, eleven-year-old Pollyanna is not very welcome in her aunt’s house. But the orphan has a formula for happiness: she finds something to be happy about in everything. The girl wins people’s hearts and discovers the secret of her dour aunt. The exuberantly cheerful Pollyanna is put to a hard test by fate. – American children have loved this joyful, optimistic book for generations. (Publisher’s text)
