L.M Montgomery Short Stories offers a handful of gentle tales from the beloved author of Anne of Green Gables, read at a bedtime pace.
Montgomery spent her career writing about the world she knew best: the small towns, farms, and windswept coastlines of Prince Edward Island. Her short fiction returns again and again to spirited girls, close-knit neighbors, quiet romances, and the small dramas of rural life — a missed letter, a stubborn aunt, a long-awaited homecoming. There's warmth here, and humor, and a soft ache of nostalgia for a slower world.
This collection sits comfortably alongside Montgomery's novels — cozy, turn-of-the-century domestic fiction with heart, wit, and a strong sense of place. Fans of Anne Shirley's Avonlea will find these villages just down the road.
The stories come one at a time in Andrew Bond's low, even voice. Dip into one or two at bedtime, and let sleep arrive somewhere in the middle of the second.
