Eleanor H. Porter was born as Eleanor Hodgman in Littleton, New Hampshire on December 19, 1868, the daughter of Francis Fletcher Hodgman and Llewella Woolson. She was trained as a singer, attending New England Conservatory for several years, but later turned to writing. In 1892, she married John Lyman Porter and moved to Massachusetts. That is when she began writing and publishing her short stories and later novels. She died in Cambridge, Massachusetts on May 21, 1920 and was buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery.
Porter mainly wrote children's literature, adventure stories and romance fiction. Her most famous novel is Pollyanna (1913), later followed by a sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up (1915). Her adult novels include The Turn of the Tide (1908), The Road to Understanding (1917), Oh Money! Money! (1918), Dawn (1919), Keith's Dark Tower (1919), Mary Marie (1920), and Sister Sue (1921); her short story collections include Across the Years (c. 1923), Money, Love and Kate (1923), Little Pardner (1926).
Porter achieved considerable commercial success: in 1913, Pollyanna ranked eighth among bestselling novels in the United States, second in 1914, and fourth in 1915 (it went through forty-seven printings between 1915 and 1920); in 1916, Just David ranked third; in 1917, The Road to Understanding ranked fourth; in 1918, Oh Money! Money! ranked fifth.
As soon as Pollyanna arrives in Beldingsville to live with her strict and dutiful maiden aunt, she begins to brighten up everybody's life. The 'glad game' she plays, of finding a silver lining in every cloud, transforms the sick, the lonely and the plain miserable - until one day something so terrible happens that even Pollyanna doesn't know how to feel glad about it.

一直聽聞這本童書,一直也沒有讀過,最初被吸引除瞭它的名氣,還有它好看的裝幀,碎花的硬殼樹皮,讓人愛不釋手。之前《窗邊的小豆豆》、《綠山牆的安妮》時,覺得這些可愛的半大的小女孩都是這樣的可愛,好奇、童真。 孤兒波莉安娜在父親過世後,被十幾年未來...
評分小時候讀的睡前故事啦,那一版是綠色封麵,插畫很美。故事也很簡單,很美,英國的鄉村風格。故事淡淡的。不喜歡英文字典裏的這個解釋...因為其實整個故事並非寫實風格的,是一種藝術的、文藝的風格,字典裏的意思完全就沒有理解這本書想要錶達的東西。。我的評論太短瞭是怎麼迴...
