Eleanor H. Porter

Eleanor H. Porter trained as a singer in Boston before she turned to fiction and gave the language 'Pollyanna.' In this middle Billy novel, the spirited heroine is engaged to Bertram - and every member of both families has a decided opinion, while a lovelorn composer, a managing sister-in-law, and a great deal of Boston propriety all take a hand. It is the book in which Porter's comic machinery pays off most sweetly.
This edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 39 full-page color plates.
