Download or read book POLLYANNA Its Sequel Pollyanna Grows Up written by Eleanor H. Porter and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-26 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pollyanna is a best-selling novel by Eleanor H. Porter that is now considered a classic of children's literature, with the title character's name becoming a popular term for someone with the same very optimistic outlook. Pollyanna has been adapted for film several times. Some of the best known are Disney's 1960 version starring child actress Hayley Mills, who won a special Oscar for the role, and the 1920 version starring Mary Pickford. The book was such a success that Porter soon produced a sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up (1915). The sequel Pollyanna Grows Up is the only one written by Porter herself; the numerous later additions to the Pollyanna franchise were the work of other authors. Eleanor Emily Hodgman Porter (1868–1920) was an American novelist.
Download or read book Mrs Farrell written by William Dean Howells and published by . This book was released on 1921 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The background of Mrs. Farrell is the New England farm boarding house, which was the only form of simple country sojourn before summer cottages were imagined, and it is interesting to compare it with the farm boarding in The Vacation of the Kelwyns, written so many years after and giving a much fuller study of the country people. The farmhouse of this story, kept by the finer type of New England farmers, must, I think, have been the sort of summer place that my parents were always seeking, and the Kelwyns' experience a picture of what they more often found. In the latter book the country people are of much poorer stuff than the Woodwards, but one feels in his handling of them the greater tenderness and understanding that age teaches, and youth, no matter how sympathetic, cannot compass--From the introduction.
