The Further Chronicles of Avonlea – Lucy Maud Montgomery

From the author of “Anne of Green Gables”, of whom Mark Twain said: “She is the dearest and most moving and delightfut child since the immortal Alice.” These new stories of Avonlea, the home of the immortal heroine of Anne of Green Gables, are written with the same wonderful understanding of human nature that the author has shown in her previous work, and have repeated the success of the famous “Anne” books.

The Chronicles of Avonlea – Lucy Maud Montgomery

Miss Montgomery continues to follow up the vein she opened in “Anne of Green Gables.” These stories are all of Spencervale or Avonlea. Anne herself —or what we hope to be a caricature of her—appears on the cover, and is mentioned now and again within. But she is not the leading figure in any of the tales, which might have been called “Romances of Middle Age,” so strongly does a single motive dominate them. Ten out of the dozen stories deal with belated love-affairs, or with the pathetic devotion of age for youth.

The Story Girl – Lucy Maud Montgomery

The Story Girl is an exquisitely written narrative of the doings of eight children during a Summer spent on an old farm near Charlottetown, Prince Edward’s Isle. Chief among them is the Story Girl—a child of fourteen, with a wonderfully vivid and original imagination and exceptional histrionic powers, whose fanciful tales arc interspersed through the record of the joys and petty sorrows which are the lot of healthy, happy children. The author has an intuitive knowledge of child nature and the characters are all real flesh and blood children. Few and far between are books like this, and hence they give a greater pleasure to the reader who is carried back to his … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
