Further Chronicles of Avonlea is a captivating follow-up to
Chronicles of Avonlea, shifting focus from Anne Shirley's personal
adventures to those of her colorful neighbors. The sequel features
15 stories full of the mystery, romance and warmth Avonlea is
famous for. Further Chronicles of Avonlea was published eight years
after its predecessor and consists of new and exciting tales. Of
the 15 short stories, Anne Shirley makes a brief appearance in "The
Little Brown Book of Miss Emily," which centers on her unique
relationship with a cantankerous elderly woman. The book also
highlights the exploits of a mischievous Persian cat, an estranged
father and daughter, and a man who becomes a town pariah. It's a
whirlwind of unforgettable tales that capture the essence of the
small yet bold village. In this second collection of stories, L.M.
Montgomery continues to expand the world of Avonlea. She introduces
new characters and scenarios that take readers on a trip through
the unknown. Whether it's adventure, romance or mystery, the
Further Chronicles of Avonlea has a story to be told. With an
eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this
edition of Further Chronicles of Avonlea is both modern and
readable.

Brought to you by Penguin. *A brand new collection of short stories
from the incredible Sir Terry Pratchett!* Imagination is an amazing
thing. It can take you to the top of the highest mountain, or down
to the bottom of the deepest depths of the sea. This where it took
Doggins on his Awfully Big Adventure: a quest full of magic and
flying machines. (And the world's best joke - trust me, it's
hilarious.) It took three young inventors to the moon (where they
may or may not have left a bottle of lemonade) and a caveman on a
trip to the dentist. You can join them on these adventures, and
many more, in this incredible collection of stories . . . From the
greatest imagination there ever was. Written for local newspapers
when Terry Pratchett was a young lad, these never previously
published stories are packed full of anarchic humour and wonderful
wit. A must-have for Terry fans . . . and young readers looking for
a fix of magic. (c) Terry Pratchett 2020 (P) Penguin Audio 2020
