Customer Reviews

Enjoyable classic

I have to say that this collection was a bit better than 'The Doctor's Sweetheart' and 'Among the Shadows', though I didn't like two stories 'The Awakening of Helen' and 'A House Divided'. I know that most of these stories were written about a hundred years ago, but I was dismayed at the use of the 'n' word in the latter story I mentioned. But some of the other stories were good reads. If you're a LM Montgomery fan, then you should check out this collection. There's a few not-so-good stories, but some great ones. While Anne of Green Gables was a great kid's book, this collection and her other collections really are more for the young adult and older crowd.

If you love Lucy Maud Montgomery and you haven't read this book, what are you waiting for? It's another great collection of her wonderful uplifting short stories.

Pure L.M. style

A wonderful book, filled with wonderful stories. The only story I didn't like was 'Helen's Awakening'. I added to the story on my computer, not wanting the story to end like it did. But the rest of the stories were so good. I agree with another reviewer. 'Young Si' was the best story. Enjoy!

Absolutely Wonderful!

You'd laugh if you could see my current copy of this book - completely dogeared, about 2" larger than it should b/c it's gotten wet reading it in the bathtub. :) I pull it out and re-read it whenever I need a quick escape. My favorite story is "Young Si" an absolutely delightful romance. Just for this story alone, the book is worth it. Another wonderful short story offering my LM Montgomery.

It's a wonderful read.

If you love Anne of Greengables and the rest of LM Montgomery's book, you'll love this one too. It's a great book for when you're curled up in your bed and it's cold out. Get it.
