The creator of Anne Shirley returns to the delightful Prince Edward Island, with more stories of warmth, family, and romance. The delightful Anne graces a couple of these stories with her charming presence, but only as a supporting character. But not to worry: Lucy Montgomery introduces her readers to other wonderful and unforgettable characters.
This collection of twelve short stories is full of Montgomery charm, whit, and humor. Anne of Green Gables fans will not be disappointed! Meet Ludovic Speed, a man who has been courting his lady for fifteen years! In "The Quarantine at Alexander Abraham's", a man-hating woman is quarantined in the home of a woman-hating man. And Pa Sloane attends an auction that sells just about everything - including a baby!
You won't find a dull moment in L.M. Montgomery's "Chronicles of Avonlea."
Other short stories include:
~ Old Lady Lloyd
~ Each in His Own Tongue
~ Little Joscelyn
~ The Winning of Lucinda
~ Old Man Shaw's Girl
~ Aunt Oliva's Beau
~ The Courting of Prissy Strong
~ The Miracle at Carmody
~ The End of a Quarrel
Chronicles of Avonlea, among other books by L.M. Montgomery, were the inspriation for the delightful and popular Canadian television show Road to Avonlea. If you enjoyed Kevin Sullivan's Anne of Green Gables series, you will love this 7 seasons series.
The seasons feature many actors from the Anne of Green Gables series: Colleen Dewhurst (returning as Marilla Cuthbert), Patricia Hamilton (returning as Rachel Lynde), Marilyn Lightstone (returning as Miss Stacy), Jackie Burroughs (Amelia Evans), Cedric Smith (Rev. Allen), Robert Collins (Mr. Barry), Jayne Eastwood (Mrs. Hammond), Mag Ruffman (Alice Lawson), Rosemary Dunsmore (Katherine Brooke), Bruce McCulluch (returning as Mr. Lawson), Paul Brown (Mr. Phillips), and Jennifer Inch (Ruby Gillis). Jonathan Crombie appears as a guest star in Season Three, returning as Dr. Gilbert Blythe.
Although they played minor roles in the Anne series, Jackie Burroughs, Cedric Smith, and Mag Ruffman have lead roles in this series.
In addition to wonderful, established Montgomery characters like Marilla Cuthbert, Miss Stacy, and Rachel Lynde, this series introduces a host of fun, enjoyable new characters. Some are from Montgomery's novel The Story Girl. Others were created for the TV series.
Guest stars that appear in the series include Peter Coyote, Christopher Reeves, Christopher Lloyd, Diana Rigg, Madeline Kahn, Robby Benson, and Michael York.
From the breath-taking scenery to the heartwarming stories this is a fun series for the entire family. The road to Avonlea is a road I love to frequently travel.
