Summary
As Pollyanna arrives in Beldingsville to live with her strict and dutiful maiden aunt, she exclaims, "Oh, Aunt Polly, I don't know how to be glad enough that you let me come to live with you!" And from this point she begins to bring cheer into everybody's life, including the sick, the lonely, and the just plain miserable. All are transformed until one day when something so terrible happens that even Pollyanna doesn't know how to feel glad anymore.

I enjoyed this book. The only fault i found was that, the voice of the young were old. which spoilt it a little. It would be difficult to make it any other way

A classic
Although supposedly a child's book, I have much enjoyed this as an adult. Recommended.

A classic
A charming and uplifting tale for our troubled times. The narrator really brought the characters alive in this delightful, old fashioned story that offers creative reasons to be glad in the most unlikely situations. I wish i had read this or, even better, had it read to me as a kid. I look forward to the sequels and am very glad to have met Pollyanna.

How GLAD I am!
How glad I am to have listened to this book!
I read it many, many years ago and was curious how I will like it now.
I was surprised that being 56 I was smiling and laughing most of the time and crying for the last hour (very inconvenient as I was driving 🙂).
My “glad game” has also improved since I revisited this book.
Listen to it and you will be glad, too!

Wonderful narration of a well loved book
What a delight to find a childhood favourite being narrated so well. I recently had the pleasure of listening to the audible book version of "Pollyanna", and I have to say, the narration was outstanding. The narrator did an excellent job of capturing the essence of each character and bringing the story to life.
One of the standout qualities of the narration was the way the narrator was able to convey the emotions and attitudes of each character through their voice. Whether it was the sunny and optimistic Pollyanna, or the stern and disapproving Aunt Polly, each character's voice was distinctive and conveyed their unique personality traits.

Adorable Christian children's story
I wasn't familiar with the Ladies Aid and had to look it up. So, that's something to bear in mind if you're not American and nor is your child. You may find yourself explaining one or two things that are no longer common knowledge too. But, the core of the message never grows old. I can see myself playing the 'glad game' after this.
I liked how the book wasn't afraid to talk about the bickering, and other negatives, that can be found in church settings. How what Christians are called to do and what they actually do might be very different things. All of this seen through the eyes of a good-natured little girl. I think this is a good listen for adults too as there's quite a bit of pathos that will go over a child's head.
