Eleanor Porter wrote this wonderful novel two years after the runaway success of her book "Pollyanna". Though also a bestseller at the time, "Just David" has rarely been reprinted since its release in 1916. It is the story of David, a charming little boy of 10 who is suddenly transplanted from a world of music (he plays the violin) in the mountains with his father, to the provincialism of a workaday small town. But even more, it is the story of how David transplants his own character, courage and happiness into the lives of the people he meets, and wins their love and respect.
