Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. In 1913, American author Eleanor H. Porter’s most famous book, Pollyanna, was published. Here is the delightful story of eleven-year-old Pollyanna (named after her mother’s two sisters). When Pollyanna’s beloved father dies, Pollyanna is sent to the town of Beldingsville, Vermont, to live with her austere and coldly dutiful Aunt Polly. Nancy, the young hired girl, is appalled at the less than warm welcome shown to the sweet young orphan, and is determined to be a friend and a rock of refuge to the young girl. Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life. Listening to audiobooks really does count as reading, and there's no better way to relax than to hear Stories Come to Life!
