Chronicles of Avonlea: Large PrintBy L. M. MontgomeryI was afraid he might stay away and sulk. So long as he comes here and sulks I don't worry. But he is feeling badly enough, poor soul, and I'm really eaten up by remorse. He tried to outstay Mr. Sherman last night, but he didn't manage it. You never saw a more depressed-looking creature than he was as he hurried down the lane. Yes, he actually hurried."

Fans of the Anne of Green Gables series can return to Avonlea in this collection of twelve short stories set in Anne Shirley’s fictional hometown. Tucked away on the northern shore of Prince Edward Island, just off the coast of Canada, is the tiny village of Avonlea. The home of Anne Shirley, who first arrived there as a freckle-faced orphan, Avonlea consists of a close-knit community of farming families and lobster fishermen whose joys, sorrows, grudges, and romances come alive in this charming collection of short stories. When a wedding brings the Penhallow family together, a long-standing grudge will either overshadow the festivities—or finally be resolved. A case of smallpox lands a quarrelsome man and woman in shared quarantine, resulting in an unlikely relationship. And Anne herself decides to take on the challenge of helping a bashful couple’s long courtship consummate in a proposal of marriage.

Chronicles of Avonlea is a collection of short stories by L. M. Montgomery, related to the Anne of Green Gables series. It features an abundance of stories relating to the fictional Canadian village of Avonlea, and was first published in 1912. Sometimes marketed as a book in the Anne Shirley series, Anne plays only a minor role in the book: out of the 12 stories in the collection, she stars in only one ("The Hurrying of Ludovic"), and has a small supporting role in another ("The Courting of Prissy Strong"). She is otherwise only briefly mentioned in passing in five other stories: "Each in His Own Tongue", '"Little Joscelyn"', "The Winning of Lucinda", '"Quarantine at Alexander Abraham's" and "The End of a Quarrel".

Max always blesses the animal when it is referred to; and I don't deny that things haveworked together for good after all. But when I think of the anguish of mind which Ismayand I underwent on account of that abominable cat, it is not a blessing that arisesuppermost in my thoughts.I never was fond of cats, although I admit they are well enough in their place, and I canworry along comfortably with a nice, matronly old tabby who can take care of herself andbe of some use in the world. As for Ismay, she hates cats and always did.But Aunt Cynthia, who adored them, never could bring herself to understand that anyone could possibly dislike them. She firmly believed that Ismay and I really liked cats deepdown in our hearts, but that, owing to some perverse twist in our moral natures, we wouldnot own up to it, but willfully persisted in declaring we didn't.Of all cats I loathed that white Persian cat of Aunt Cynthia's. And, indeed, as we alwayssuspected and finally proved, Aunt herself looked upon the creature with more pride thanaffection. She would have taken ten times the comfort in a good, common puss that she didin that spoiled beauty. But a Persian cat with a recorded pedigree and a market value of onehundred dollars tickled Aunt Cynthia's pride of possession to such an extent that shedeluded herself into believing that the animal was really the apple of her eye.

Miss Montgomery continues to follow up the vein she opened in "Anne of Green Gables." These stories are all of Spencervale or Avonlea. Anne herself -or what we hope to be a caricature of her-appears on the cover, and is mentioned now and again within. But she is not the leading figure in any of the tales, which might have been called "Romances of Middle Age," so strongly does a single motive dominate them. Ten out of the dozen stories deal with belated love-affairs, or with the pathetic devotion of age for youth.
