Description
Further Chronicles of Avonlea is a collection of short stories by L. M. Montgomery and is a sequel to Chronicles of Avonlea. Published in 1920, it includes a number of stories relating to the inhabitants of the fictional Canadian village of Avonlea and its region, located on Prince Edward Island. Sometimes marketed as a book in the Anne Shirley series, Anne plays only a minor role in the book: out of the 15 stories in the collection, she narrates and stars in only one ("The Little Brown Book of Miss Emily"), and is briefly mentioned in passing in two others ("Aunt Cynthia's Persian Cat" and "The Return of Hester"). Three other characters from the Anne books are seen in brief secondary roles: Diana Barry and Marilla Cuthbert in "The Little Brown Book of Miss Emily", and Rachel Lynde in "Sara's Way". As well, Matthew Cuthbert is mentioned in passing in "The Conscience Case of David Bell".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 Ocean 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 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 exciting, these delightful tales are stories to cherish, in a book you'll never want to end.
