Summary: Nestled between the ocean and the hills of Prince Edward Island is a road that leads to the house where a girl named Anne grew up, Green Gables, and to the wonderful place called Avonlea. In this second volume of heartwarming tales a Persian cat plays an astonishing part in a marriage proposal . . . a ghostly appearance in a garden leads a woman to the fulfillment of her youthful dreams . . . a young girl risks losing her mother to find the father she never knew . . . and a foolish lie threatens to make an unattached woman the town's laughingstock when an imaginary lover comes to town for real! Filled with warmth, humor, and mystery, these unforgettable stories re-create the enchanting world of Avonlea.

Review: I'm not a big fan of short stories at all, but LMM is the one exception. Her short stories are generally just as charming as her full-length novels, and I thoroughly enjoyed this reading of them. Some of the stories were a lot darker and without the happy endings we're used to from her novels, but still well-written and captivating.
