Eleanor H. Porter gave the language the word 'Pollyanna' and is remembered for the wrong book — for the Miss Billy novels are sharper than their sunny reputation. Now married, Billy has a house, a husband who composes, and relatives who visit and never leave, along with the dawning discovery that being adored is not at all the same as being consulted. Beneath every comic scene runs a quiet, pointed argument about whether a wife may keep work of her own. This edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 42 full-page color plates.
