Bücher von Eleanor Hodgman Porter

"Dank dir, David. Das ist ein wundervoller Brief!", sagte er weich, "Und ich glaube auch, dass du es eines Tages finden wirst. Du wirst zu ihm gehen, deine Geige am Kinn und über die Saiten streichen, um ihm von der wunderschönen Welt zu erzählen, die du gefunden hast!"

"Oh, Ruth, Ruth, ich würde dir gern eine Dosis Pollyanna geben. Ich weiß niemanden, der es so nötig hat." - "Also, ich weiß nicht, was Pollyanna ist, aber egal: ich will es nicht. Das hier ist nicht dein geliebtes Sanatorium, und ich bin nicht deine Patientin, die sich Medizin eintrichtern und herumkommandieren läßt." - "Nun, Pollyanna ist Medizin, in gewisser Hinsicht. Jedenfalls sagen die Ärzte im Sanatorium alle, sie sei heilsamer als alle Medikamente, die ihnen zur Verfügung stehen."

Eleanor H. Porter published the children's book Just David in 1916. Ten-year-old violinist David is unnamed and has no idea what his last name is. He and his father have a happy life in the highlands until his father develops a serious illness.

Two former childhood sweethearts who had drifted apart were wed by David, whose purity and singing talent charmed the villagers and transformed the lives of numerous of them. He also makes a difference in the Holly family, helping Simeon to mend his broken heart and enable his son to visit with his new wife and child.They discover throughout the visit how expensive David's violins are. His father had a Stradivarius and an Amati, which he had lent to a blind acquaintance. When John reads David's father's old letter, he recognizes the signature and learns that the man was a well-known musician who had vanished with his son following the death of his wife. David is assigned to reconnect with his family and take violin lessons. He becomes well-known and affluent, but he still comes to the Hollys every year to perform for them.
