Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. Do you remember that old Tom the gardener once mentioned to Nancy that long years ago Aunt Polly had quarreled with a lover? From watching the way Mr. Pendleton has softened under Pollyanna’s sweet friendship, Nancy has decided that the old lover was Mr. Pendleton! She tells Pollyanna, and of course the tenderhearted girl wants to do whatever she can to reconcile the lovers so they will both be less lonely and more able to find gladness in the world. But no one could be more surprised about this perfectly logical supposition than Mr. Pendleton himself!  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! Let me know what you think!
