Marigold Lesley, grew up in Cloud of Spruce as the only child in a
well-to-do farming family. Her father died before she was born, but
she had a loving but "bossed" mother, steely Young Grandmother,
shrewd Old Grandmother, former sailor Uncle Klondike, and former
doctor Aunt Marigold who had saved Marigold's life and had hence
become her namesake. These people made Marigold's life mostly
pleasant and carefree, but she nonetheless had her share of
childish adventures, fancies and troubles. However, childhood has
to end, and then ...

From L.M. Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables, comes another beloved classic and an unforgettable story of courage and romance.
Valancy Stirling is 29 and has never been in love. She's spent her entire life on a quiet little street in an ugly little house and never dared to contradict her domineering mother and her unforgiving aunt. But one day she receives a shocking, life-altering letter―and decides then and there that everything needs to change. For the first time in her life, she does exactly what she wants to and says exactly what she feels.
At first her family thinks she's gone around the bend. But soon Valancy discovers more surprises and adventure than she ever thought possible. She also finds her one true love and the real-life version of the Blue Castle that she was sure only existed in her dreams...
The sequel to Pat of Silver Bush. What will her twenties hold for
Pat?
Emily Starr never knew what it was to be lonely -- until her
beloved father died. Now Emily's an orphan, and her mother's
snobbish relatives are taking her to live with them at New Moon
Farm. She's sure she won't be happy but life is full of surprises.
L.M. Montgomery's "Chronicles of Avonlea" isn't a novel (as are
the other volumes we have done in this series). It's a volume of
short stories, like "The Hurrying of Ludovic," the tale of Theodora
Dix's hurrying a too-thoughtful suitor to the altar, with the help
of Anne Shirley; "Old Lady Lloyd," a proud and sad woman whose life
has escaped her; "Little Joscelyn," who is a fine, fine singer . .
. a dozen tales, all tolled. They've all got Montgomery's wit and
her insight. If you are a fan of novels like "Anne of Avonlea" and
"Anne of Green Gables." You'll love these tales. The full contents
of this volume are "The Hurrying of Ludovic," "Old Lady Lloyd,"
"Each in His Own Tongue," "Little Joscelyn," "The Winning of
Lucinda," "Old Man Shaw's Girl," "Aunt Olivia's Beau," "The
Quarantine at Alexander Abraham's," "Pa Sloane's Purchase," "The
Courting of Prissy Strong," "The Miracle at Carmody," and "The End
of a Quarrel."
Valancy Stirling is unmarried at 29. Frustrated by her loveless
state and stifled by her moralistic family, for years she has been
escaping into an imaginary life in her Blue Castle in Spain. Then
unexpected news shocks her into asserting her independence and
striking out against society s conventions. Her old fantasies seem
irrelevant now - but dreams of the Blue Castle are not forgotten as
she refocuses her energies on living her life on her own terms.
Lucy Maud Montgomery has created a wonderfully sympathetic heroine
in Valancy, engaging the reader fully in her trials and triumphs. A
great love of the Canadian wilderness comes pouring out in
beautifully evocative prose accompanied with sharp observation of
the personalities and attitudes of her characters and the society
they inhabit.
If you came down to harsh facts -- which, it must be confessed,
Anne of Avonlea seldom did until she had to -- it did not seem
likely that there was much promising material for celebrities in
Avonlea school; but you could never tell what might happen if a
teacher used her influence for good. Anne had certain rose-tinted
ideals of what a teacher might accomplish if she only went the
right way about it; and she was in the midst of a delightful scene,
forty years hence, with a famous personage . . . just exactly what
he was to be famous for was left in convenient haziness, but Anne
thought it would be rather nice to have him a college president or
a Canadian premier . . . bowing low over her wrinkled hand and
assuring her that it was she who had first kindled his ambition,
and that all his success in life was due to the lessons she had
instilled so long ago in Avonlea school.
