Customer Reviews

Enjoyable.

This is a rather nice collection of short stories, if you're already a L.M. Montgomery fan, you will enjoy this. I know I did.

We can never get enough!

I love this book. You can never have enough of Avonlea, and this is one way to get it. If you love to read, I dare you to try this on for size. It might suprise you!

Fifteen wonderful short stories! You will love them!

LM Montgomery weaves such a magical spell with her plot, characters, and of course the wonderful setting and backdrop of Prince Edward Island. I could not put this book down once I started it as with all of her tales. If you read LM, you will recognize the surnames of many characters as being related to people in the Anne of Green Gables series. Some of the stories are more dated than others, but that is the charm of them as well. You are reading history and the different attitudes that society had towards being an "old maiden lady," marriage and the caste-like system. The stories are intriguing touched with an unrealism and some stories even have a supernatural touch. Must read for all Anneophiles and bibliophiles that like the Edwardian era.

A must have!

I couldn't tell at times whether I should laugh or cry, or both at the same time. Many of the stories were enchanting, endearing, all stories I would like to have written myself. L.M. Montgomery is a fantastic writer for all times.

A must read!

This is a truly wonderful book. It is great to read during the holiday season and is both funny and romantic. I knew LMM was funny but this is a masterpiece. I have read almost all of her Anne books and curiously pick this one up. I was delightfully surpised and have recommended this to many people who have told me they loved it too.
