This BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatization of the classic American story features Pollyanna, a young girl sent to live with her austere Aunt Polly after her father's death. Faced with a chilly welcome and a room in the attic, Pollyanna's innate optimism shines through as she engages in the ‘glad game’, winning over the townsfolk, even as her aunt remains resistant. The narrative highlights the transformative power of hope and joy, culminating in a life-changing incident that challenges both Pollyanna and Aunt Polly to confront their feelings. This adaptation captures the enduring charm and innocence that have made Pollyanna a beloved character for generations.
