It’s hard to find joy where it isn’t. But if you follow the rule—more precisely, the game created by the heroine of the American writer E. Porter’s story “Pollyanna,” “to be able to rejoice at life in any circumstances”—everything takes on a new meaning. Maybe that’s exactly why the book has been read all over the world for more than a hundred years! Eleanor Porter’s works are included in extracurricular reading programs.
