About this ebook
L. M. Montgomery
L. M. (Lucy Maud) Montgomery (1874-1942) was a Canadian author who published 20 novels and hundreds of short stories, poems, and essays. She is best known for the Anne of Green Gables series. Montgomery was born in Clifton (now New London) on Prince Edward Island on November 30, 1874. Raised by her maternal grandparents, she grew up in relative isolation and loneliness, developing her creativity with imaginary friends and dreaming of becoming a published writer. Her first book, Anne of Green Gables, was published in 1908 and was an immediate success, establishing Montgomery's career as a writer, which she continued for the remainder of her life.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A childhood favourite
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Awful attitudes are so fore-fronted in this book, so much so that nostalgia can't save it. Sacrifice lauded above all common sense, women are bitter and/or tragic old maids without a man, and the overt racism, which in a lot of Montgomery is by omission as she much prefers to write about her white main characters, is the core of one story about - you guessed it - one woman's redemption through sacrifice and another's long, lonely man-less life.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lest one think Ms. Montgomery only wrote Pollyannish tales where everything comes right in the end, a reading of such tales as "In Her Selfless Mood" or "Tannis of the Flats" will quickly cure that misapprehension. Though there are tales of romance gone right and some humor as well, there is more tragedy in these tales than in the first "Chronicles of Avonlea" collection. Like many good short stories, there are some good "twists in the tale" and a knack for capturing personalities.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The back cover of my copy of Further Chronicles describes them as "Tales for Cozy Evenings," and Montgomery's unfailingly beautiful descriptions of nature make them just that: nothing matter-of-fact, overdone, or disposable about them. The enjoyable pictures Montgomery paints appeal to me like actual characters.Aunt Cynthia's Persian Cat: "Ismay, the house is on fire!" I laughed aloud for a good minute or two.In Her Selfless Mood: in a word, tragic.Tannis of the Flats: it was...interesting to see the subject of race so addressed in the Chronicles. The most interesting story of them all to me, I think, for different reasons. And that's all I'll say about that.The Little Brown Book of Miss Emily: what a TREAT to read a story told by Anne Shirley in first person!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This collection of stories is a bit darker than most other LLM story collections but many of the stories still have happy-ish endings. The final story, Tannis of the Flats, makes me sick though. Some of LLM's characters make racist remarks but it usually feels like it's just a characteristic of that specific character (being that the characters are usually the ones who stuffy or stuck up cranks and not the nice characters) and not the attitude of the author. But Tannis is told in first person by an unknown character so the racist comments, of which there are many, come across very personal and are not easily dismissed. 😢
