Pollyanna and Pollyanna Grows Up

Eleanor H. Porter's 1913 classic is combined with its 1915 sequel in a single volume, with comfortable 14-point type and the original black-and-white illustrations by Stockton Mulford and H. Weston Taylor. Pollyanna is orphaned and moves in with her strict, duty-bound aunt. Pollyanna's intentional and contagious gladness spreads through the entire town, but it has no effect on Aunt Polly--until something happens that endangers Pollyanna's own ability to "just be glad." In the included sequel, Pollyanna goes to Boston to stay with a wealthy widow whose only nephew has been missing for eight years. Ruth Carew is a bitter, lonely woman who has given up on the search--until Pollyanna moves in with her. Can Pollyanna help Mrs. Carew find her lost nephew, or at least learn to enjoy life even in his absence?
