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."
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. |
