“Pollyanna Grows Up: The Second GLAD Book”
With frontispiece in full color from a painting by R. Farrington Elwell and six spirited drawings by Frank J. Murch. Bound uniform with the POLLYANNA books in silk cloth, with a corresponding color jacket, net $1.25; carriage paid $1.40
The year we published POLLYANNA, THE GLAD BOOK, we published another book by the same author, but as it is contrary to our policy to issue two books by one writer in a year, we published the second book under the pseudonym “Eleanor Stuart.”
As we are not going to publish a new book of Mrs. Porter’s this year, we have decided to announce the publication of SIX STAR RANCH under the name of its real author. The success of her previous books is practically unparalleled in the history of American publishing, POLLYANNA: THE GLAD BOOK, having already sold 300,000 copies—an average of more than 100,000 copies for three consecutive years—and POLLYANNA GROWS UP: THE SECOND GLAD BOOK, having sold nearly 150,000 copies in nine months.
SIX STAR RANCH is a charming story, in the author’s best vein, of a dear little Texas girl, who plays “the glad game” made famous by POLLYANNA, and plays it with a charm which will put her on the same pinnacle, side by side with POLLYANNA.
SYLVIA OF THE HILL TOP
A Sequel to “Sylvia’s Experiment, The Cheerful Book”
By Margaret R. Piper
12mo, cloth decorative, with a frontispiece in full color, decorative jacket, net $1.25; carriage paid $1.40
In THE CHEERFUL BOOK Sylvia Arden proved herself a messenger of joy and cheerfulness to thousands of readers. In this new story she plays the same rôle on Arden Hill during her summer vacation and is the same wholesome, generous, cheerful young lady who made such a success of the Christmas Party. She befriends sick neighbors, helps “run” a tea-room, brings together two lovers who have had differences, serves as the convenient bridesmaid here and the good Samaritan there, and generally acquits herself in a manner which made of her such a popular heroine in the former story. There is, of course, a Prince Charming in the background.
“The SYLVIA books should be read by all the exponents of POLLYANNA of THE GLAD BOOKS,” says Mr. H. V. Meyer of the American Baptist Publication Society.
