FURTHER CHRONICLES OF AVONLEA - Softcover

Nestled in the seaside hills of Prince Edward Island, there's a road to a place called Green Gables where a girl named Anne grew up. Here, not far from the cold Atlantic and close to the warmth of a loving heart, is Avonlea.

In this second volume of wonderful adventures a ghostly appearance in a garden teaches us about the real meaning of love...a pretty young girl risks losing her dear mother to find the father she never knew...and a foolish lie threatens to make a spinster the town's laughing stock when an imaginary lover comes to town for real! Warm and touching, rich and exciting, these and a dozen more delightful tales are stories to cherish, in a book you'll never want to end.

"I love books. I hope when I grow up to be able to have lots of them." Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote in her journal when she was just fourteen. This journal entry, made in 1889, is significant to readers today who know that when she grew up she not only owned and read many books, but also became the world-famous author L. M. Montgomery. Maud, as she liked to be called by family and friends, wrote twenty-four books between 1908 and 1939. Her first was Anne of Green Gables, and her other works include seven more Anne books, the Avonlea stories, the Emily trilogy, two novels for adults, an autobiography, and the novel The Story Girl.

Lucy Maud Montgomery was always writing and reading and was quite a story girl herself, creating more than five hundred short stories. She also wrote many poems. One edition of her poetry was published during her lifetime and today all her poems have been collected in a single volume.
