Publisher's Synopsis

Across The Years is a heartwarming novel by Eleanor H. Porter, published in 1917. The story follows the life of Pollyanna Whittier, a young girl who has been orphaned and is sent to live with her strict and wealthy Aunt Polly in the small town of Harrington. Pollyanna's sunny and optimistic personality, along with her ""Glad Game"" of finding something to be glad about in every situation, soon endears her to the townspeople and transforms the lives of those around her.As Pollyanna grows up, she faces challenges and heartbreaks, including a serious accident that leaves her paralyzed. However, her positive attitude and the love and support of her friends and family help her overcome these obstacles and continue to spread joy and happiness to those around her.Across The Years is a timeless tale of hope, resilience, and the power of positivity, and has become a beloved classic of children's literature.Plaits were ""out"" next year, and the Heath sisters were among the first to read it in the fashion notes. Once more on a bright spring morning Miss Priscilla and Miss Amelia left the house tenderly bearing in their arms the brown-paper parcels--and once more they returned, the brown parcels still in their arms. There was an air of indecision about them this time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
