Eleven—year-old Pollyanna did not know sadness and worries until one day a big disaster happened in her life - her beloved dad died. After his death, the girl was forced to move in with a grumpy aunt, into a world of strict rules and prohibitions. Fortunately, Pollyanna knows how to take the blows of fate with fortitude and does not give up even in the most difficult situations — she learned this from her father. First published in 1913, the book appealed to both adults and children, was translated into many languages and was repeatedly filmed. In 1915, Eleanor Porter wrote a sequel, "Pollyanna has Grown Up." The main character of the story has grown older, but still looks at the world with admiration and believes that all difficulties can be overcome! The novel is illustrated by recognized masters of book graphics Stockton Mulford and Henry Weston Taylor.
