"Pollyanna" is a classic children's novel written by Eleanor H. Porter in 1913. It tells the story of an orphan named Pollyanna Whittier who goes to live with her stern Aunt Polly in a small town. Pollyanna's optimistic philosophy, known as "The Glad Game," transforms the town and the people around her. The book's success led to several sequels and adaptations, including films starring Mary Pickford and Hayley Mills. The term "Pollyanna" has become synonymous with someone who has an unfailingly optimistic outlook. The novel explores themes of coping with difficulties and finding joy in life. It has had a lasting influence on literature and popular culture.
