PORTER, ELEANOR H : POLLYANNA

PORTER, Eleanor H. POLLYANNA. Illustrated by Stockton Mulford. London: Pitman & Sons, 1913. First British edition; first printing from American sheets. We are calling this a later issue as the publisher's 20pp. catalogue (Pitman Catalogue O.) is likely from 1915. Blue cloth-covered boards, with gilt lettering and an oval portrait lable of the heroine on the front board. Pollyanna was a best-selling novel in 1913 that went into over twenty printings the first year alone. It is now considered a classic of children's literature with the title character entering the American lexicon. Overall an attractive copy with many handsome illustrations. See Peter Parley to Penrod. p. 131. for the American edition. Quite scarce
