Although Eleanor Porter’s Pollyanna is widely considered a classic of children’s literature. Pollyanna is a kind novel advocating an optimistic outlook, which is summarized in a famous quote ‘When you look for the bad in mankind expecting to find it, you surely will’. Pollyanna, a young orphan, is living with her stern aunt, who is taking care of her out of ‘sense of duty’. Under any circumstances Pollyanna prefers to see only their best side, taking joy in simplest things, she affects everyone around her. Hence a popular term ‘Pollyannaism’, or the Pollyanna Principle, a subconscious bias towards the positive. The tale of Pollyanna will undoubtedly infect the reader with cheer and gladness. Pretty illustrations by Nataliia Gerasimenko provide you with new impressions from reading this legendary story.

I mean living-doing the things you want to do: playing outdoors, reading (to myself, of course), climbing hills, talking to Mr. Tom in the garden, and Nancy, and finding out all about the houses and the people and everything everywhere all through the perfectly lovely streets I came through yesterday. That's what I call living, Aunt Polly. Just breathing isn't living!”
The man of wealth had more years, as well as more money, to his credit, while the minister had only a young head full of youth's ideals and enthusiasm, and a heart full of love
