Pollyanna Grows Up is a novel written by Eleanor H. Porter, first published in 1915. It is the sequel to the popular novel, Pollyanna, and continues the story of the optimistic and cheerful protagonist, Pollyanna Whittier. The novel begins with Pollyanna recovering from a serious accident that leaves her unable to walk. She is sent to Boston to stay with her friend, Dr. Chilton, and his wife. There, Pollyanna is introduced to a new world of wealth and privilege, but also learns about the challenges and struggles that come with it. As Pollyanna grows up, she faces new obstacles and must learn to navigate the complexities of adult relationships. She develops a close friendship with a young orphan named Jimmy Bean and helps him find a new home. She also reconnects with old friends, including Aunt Polly, and learns about the power of forgiveness and second chances. Throughout the novel, Pollyanna's unwavering optimism and positive attitude continue to inspire those around her, even in the face of adversity. The book explores themes of love, friendship, forgiveness, and the importance of staying positive in difficult times. Overall, Pollyanna Grows Up is a heartwarming and uplifting story that will appeal to readers of all ages. It is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.Ho--ho! Brrrr! spluttered the big man, coloring like a schoolboy and throwing back his head with a hearty laugh. Ho--ho! Just as if-- He broke off with a quick lifting of his hand. The next moment he was escorting a plainly very much frightened little old lady from curb to curb. If his step were a bit more pompous, and his chest a bit more full, it must have been only an unconscious tribute to the watching eyes of the little girl back at the starting-point. A moment later, with a haughtily permissive wave of his hand toward the chafing drivers and chauffeurs, he strolled back to Pollyanna.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
