Chronicles of Avonlea, in Which Anne Shirley of Green Gables and Avonlea Plays Some Part ..

Chronicles of Avonlea is a charming collection of short stories by L. M. Montgomery, set in the picturesque town of Avonlea, the well-loved home of Anne of Green Gables.

This delightful anthology introduces readers to new characters and new adventures, all full with the same warmth that Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables readers have come to love. In twelve tales, Chronicles of Avonlea brings to life a village world where kindness, friendship, and second chances prevail.

The well-loved character Anne Shirley makes a couple of surprise appearances, while around her, Montgomery's cast of Avonlea villagers – the old doctor, the spinster aunts, the quietly stubborn schoolteachers – all take their turn in the foreground.

Read & Co. Children's is proudly republishing Chronicles of Avonlea, Montgomery's 1912 companion volume to the matching Anne of Green Gables series – a beautifully made keepsake edition for the re-reader, complete with a brand-new introductory biography of the author.
