These magazine stories were written four years before Anne of Green Gables. A girl laid up with a sprained ankle misses a picnic, a spinster receives an unexpected proposal, a lonely woman adopts a neglected grave, and neighbours in small Canadian farm communities trade gossip, mistakes and second chances in tales that usually turn out kindly.
A look at Montgomery learning her craft, warm and brisk, for anyone who loves Avonlea. Download the free EPUB.
