Short Fiction Montgomery, L. M.: Chronicles of Avonlea. v1. 22 Feb 2026

[GrannyGrump]

A companion volume to the Anne of Green Gables series.
Set in the fictional Canadian village of Avonlea, these twelve tales explore the lives of various townspeople, their courtships, feuds, and second chances. While it is sometimes marketed as part of the “Anne of Green Gables” series, Anne Shirley appears only briefly: she has a supporting role in “The Courting of Prissy Strong” and stars in “The Hurrying of Ludovic”. Most stories feature other Avonlea residents as they navigate love, family conflicts, and unexpected encounters that transform their lives in this intimate community portrait.
