About this book

Designed to appeal to the book lover the Macmillan Collectors Library is a series of beautifully bound pocket-sized gift editions of much loved classic titles. Bound in real cloth printed on high quality paper and featuring ribbon markers and gilt edges Macmillan Collectors Library are books to love and treasure. When her beloved father dies Pollyanna is sent to live with her strict Aunt Polly in the dour town of Beldingsville Vermont. Luckily Pollyanna has the Glad Game - a joyous warm-hearted exercise where she finds the best in every situation. Whether delighting in the view from her bare attic room or interpreting her punishment of a meagre supper as a wonderful treat Pollyanna cannot help but see the best in the world and inadvertently changes it for the better as she goes. With its wonderfully infectious good cheer Pollyanna spawned a real-life Glad movement and endures today as a true classic of childrens literature. This elegant Macmillan Collectors Library edition features an afterword by childrens book critic Imogen Russell Williams.
