What Readers are Saying:

"Next to Anne of Green Gables, it's] one of the books I've re-read the most times. I've always loved this and considered it the best of Montgomery's standalone books."

"Superb. Absolutely superb. The characters live and step right off the page, leaving me thinking about them after I've closed the book."

"Classic L.M. Montgomery. Lots of fun characters doing crazy things and then gossiping about it to anyone who will listen. Loved it "

Customer Reviews

One of my favorite books

This book is a study in the human race. It always makes me laugh.

Montgomery's Funniest

This book along with Blue Castle is tied for my favorite L.M. Montgomery book. The old aunt is hilarious. Other characters are original and generally sympathetic. Everyone will be able to say "I have a relative just like that". Overall, a sweet, romantic, humorous book with a happy ending.

A must read for all Montgomery fans

I love the way there were a bunch of stories woven into one book. Peter & Donna, the Sams, (the plot of that story was in "Along the Shore")Hugh & Joscelyn, and all the others. This book was Montgomery at her best!
