Further Chronicles of Avonlea L M Montgomery

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 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 pretty 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 touching, rich and exciting, these and a dozen more delightful tales are stories to cherish, in a book you'll never want to end. It is no exaggeration to say that what Longfellow did for Acadia, Miss Montgomery has done for Prince Edward Island. More than a million readers, young people as well as their parents and uncles and aunts, possess in the picture-galleries of their memories the exquisite landscapes of Avonlea, limned with as poetic a pencil as Longfellow wielded when he told the ever-moving story
