POLLYANNA OF THE ORANGE BLOSSOMS. Pollyanna Glad… von Harriet Lummis. Smith
I was delighted to find this continuation of Pollyanna's story. Very sweet, probably too sweet for many, but right up my street for the moment. The Glad Game is just another way of saying be thankful. I appreciate the reminder in trying times.

It doesn’t shy away from serious issues like neglected children, family breakup, threatened suicide, death, and eventually war. BUT, hilariously, pregnancy is taboo, referred to obliquely as a secret that makes the mother glow with happiness. Harriet Lummus Smith does quite a good job of carrying on the Pollyanna tradition but with a heavier hand than the original.… (mehr)
