Eleanor H. Porter was an early 20th-century American author, who achieved international acclaim with her masterpiece, ‘Pollyanna’, selling over a million copies during an era when the reading public deeply craved reassuring themes of rural virtue and resilience. By inventing her protagonist’s signature “glad game” — a psychological practice of finding the positive side of every adversity — Porter created a cultural phenomenon that inspired nationwide clubs and numerous sequels. Beyond pure sentimentalism, Porter used her sharp, journalistic eye to weave sophisticated social commentary into her works, penning several adult novels, as well as notable short fiction. Her unique brand of storytelling proved immensely adaptable to early American multi-media, spawning Broadway plays and iconic cinematic adaptations. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Porter’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
