A Chapter of Accidents

A funny and heartfelt collection of rare short stories about unlikely pairings by the famed Anne of Green Gables author.

L. M. Montgomery, best known for creating the beloved Anne of Green Gables series, had a thriving writing career that included several novels and more than five hundred poems and stories.

This collection features rare short stories originally published between 1901 and 1932 that haven't been in print since their initial periodicals. Montgomery scholar Carolyn Strom Collins has curated a selection of funny and heartfelt stories to provide unique insight into how this famed author's writing developed over her career. With stories like "A Case of Mistaken Identity," "A Platonic Relationship," and "Frank’s Revenge," each tale features an unusual, accidental, or unlikely pair. Montgomery's brilliantly written characters and strong sense of place paired with Collins's scholarly context make this collection a must for every Montgomery fan.
