Pierre, sick and confined to bed, cannot play with other children. He must find his enjoyment in what he sees outside his window: the sky above and the canal below. Pierre discovers beauty in the daily sights and sounds that enter his open window and they become his companions. One day Pierre hears strange noises coming from the canal. Young boys have come into the quiet canal, shattering Pierre's peaceful routine. They see Pierre in his window ana an unusual relationship develops between Pierre and the group of boys, as they come back again and again. During a local holiday, Pierre receives a surprise visit from his companions, and in an exuberant ceremony he is made mayor of the city.

When orphaned Pollyanna Whittier comes to live with her stern maiden aunt, the entire town of Beldingsville is affected by the bubbly nature of this lively eleven-year-old. Not only is she perpetually cheerful, she also brightens the lives of everyone she meets. How does Pollyanna manage to be so eternally optimistic? How does she spread her bright outlook among the sick, sad, and abrasive people of the town and transform the life of her lonely aunt? It's the "glad game," she says, describing the antidote to hardship and depressed spirits. But in a serious accident, the town almost loses its "Glad Girl," and everyone looks for a way to make this youngster happy again. Translated into several languages since its original publication in 1913, Pollyanna has been made into a Broadway play, as well as a popular motion picture. One of the best-loved children's stories of all time, this classic—along with its spirited heroine—will inspire readers for years to come.Reprint of a standard edition.Pollyanna
