Customer Reviews

Delightful stories!

As a girl, I read all of the Anne books, the Emily books, and many of the other books by Lucy Maud Montgomery. As a young woman, I re-read all these books and found more in them than I had ever found in childhood. They are all timeless stories. I found Akin To Anne by accident, and I grabbed it off the shelf. It was as wonderful as I thought it would be. The heartwarming and engaging stories will leave a lasting impression. You will not soon forget these children, and you will spend many happy hours reading this book.

A Wonderful Collection of Stories

Akin to Anne contains 19 stories about orphans who find homes, discover family and friends, and learn things about themselves and others. It contains some of my favourite short stories of LMM. Anyone who loves heart-warming stories that will make you laugh and cry will love to read this book. And for all fans of LMM, this book is a MUST.

Slightly boring short stories.

This was another of Maud's books of short stories. Unfortunately, this is probably one of her more boring collections. And don't let the title fool you, these stories have practically nothing to do with Anne! If you are looking for interesting short stories by L.M. Montgomery, try Along the Shore, After Many Days or Across the Miles.
