Pollyanna Audiobook (Free)

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation from the common American tale, starring Gayle Hunnicutt. When Pollyanna’s father dies, she actually is delivered to live with her only surviving comparative, the wealthy but stern Aunt Polly. Pollyanna’s joy soon turns to disappointment when her spinster aunt provides her a cool greeting and tells her she is in which to stay the attic. It’s not the welcome Pollyanna expected, but she shortly regains her spirits, playing the ‘glad game’ her dad trained her. Nancy, the maid, can be charmed by Pollyanna and quickly the girl’s infectious optimism wins the hearts of everybody in town from your reclusive Mr Pendleton towards the shy Dr Chilton. Everyone, that’s, except Aunt Polly, who won’t succumb to her youthful niece’s charm. It is not until a tragic incident happens, which leaves even Pollyanna struggling to find ways to experience glad, that her maiden aunt finally unwraps her heart from years of bitterness. This BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation retains the spirit of childlike innocence and optimism which has produced Pollyanna a popular amongst generations of children and adults.
