Dell's Movie Classic adaptation of Walt Disney's Pollyanna captures the charm of the 1960 film right on its cover, where a beaming, red-haired young girl clutches a pair of small wildflowers and grins with infectious warmth from within an elegant oval portrait frame. The tagline — "An orphan's 'glad game' changes a whole town's destiny" — sets the tone perfectly for this sunny story. At just a dime, it's a delightful piece of 1960 Dell craftsmanship, with interior art by Nat Edson bringing Pollyanna's optimistic world to life.
