About Book

From AudioFile
It would have been easy to gush through this five hanky classic, but Hannah Gordon presents a realistic, yet warm and human, interpretation of each of the various dour and happy characters. Her narrative style reminds me of the late Elizabeth Montgomery of BEWITCHED as she describes the effect a glad orphan girl has on her maiden aunt's vinegary universe. The book is full of tears and laughter, and Gordon evokes them with small catches in her voice, trembling hesitations and sudden babbles of enthusiasm. She doesn't hit a false note anywhere, a master at her craft. D.W. An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award winner. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Midwest Book Review
The unabridged classic story of an orphaned girl who lives with a strict maiden aunt receives fine narration by Hannah Gordon, whose accented British voice provides the perfect backdrop for a strong story of courage and discovery. Kids who balk at classic presentations will love this more exciting audio version.

A masterpiece, Pollyanna tells the sentimental tale of a most improbable heroine, a young girl whose glad game of always looking for and finding the bright side of things somehow reforms her antagonists, restores hope to the hopeless, and generally rights the wrongs of the world.
