About the Author

Lucy Maud Montgomery (November 30, 1874 - April 24, 1942) was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. The book was an immediate success. The central character, Anne Shirley, an orphaned girl, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following. The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Most of the novels were set in Prince Edward Island, and locations within Canada's smallest province became a literary landmark and popular tourist site-namely Green Gables farm, the genesis of Prince Edward Island National Park. She was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1935.

My name is Lucy Maud Montgomery, A Canadian author best known for a collection of novels, essays, short stories, and poetry beginning in 1908 with Anne of Green Gables. She published twenty novels as well as 530 short stories, five hundred poems, and thirty essays.

Some of my books have been made in to television shows and had inspired movie producers

Here with Amazon KDP, we have many books that have been brought back from the early days of the forgotten times.

This is a collection of the books that we used to read as kids.

Our collection is based on the knowledge that has been left by our ancestors, the forgotten knowledge of the people, times, and places.

I hope that you enjoy the readings and the knowledge left from beyond as we take it with us into the future and use it to our best advantage.

Feel free to leave us a review, it helps our algorithms and shows how much you appreciate our efforts.

Yours truly from Amazon Aurthor Central Publisher L.M. Montgomery

I love the collection. They are good stories and overall nicely concluded. These are wonderful for reading a story or two if you don't have much time, or right before bed.

L. M. Montgomery is one of my all-time favorite authors, and these short stories are classic Montgomery :) I have read several of them before in print editions of full-length L.M.M. novels, as bonus reads at the end of the book, but they are still amazing the second time around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Her Best Work...
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2010

Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery, most famous for her novel "Anne of Green Gables", published over 500 short stories in her literary lifetime. Dodo Press has captured a selection of these short stories in chronological order in a six-volume set, of which "Lucy Maud Montgomery Short Stories: 1909 to 1922" is the excellent final installment.

During the period 1909 to 1921, Montgomery was busy writing a string of successful novels, but still found time to produce short stories in the standard magazine format of the era. Montgomery used her short stories to work out themes and sub-plots that appeared in later novels. For example, an imaginative young character in the short story "A Soul That Was Not Home" is lifted whole for a similar role in the novel "Anne of Avonlea." The leading character of the short story "The Life-Book of Uncle Jesse" becomes the Captain Jim of the novel "Anne's House of Dreams."

The twenty-seven short stories in this volume show an interesting variety. There are complicated romances, Christmas stories, plucky children, and more than a few cases of mistaken identity. "How We Went To The Wedding" is an unusual adventure story about two young ladies determined to cross the Canadian prairie to reach a distant wedding. "The Gossip of Valley View" finds a middle-aged bachelor and a spinster unable to stamp out gossip that they are soon to be married. The heroine of "Charlotte's Ladies" is a plucky orphan who wins a way out of an orphan asylum. In "The Garden of Spice", a young boy finds a refuge with a horribly disfigured lady and her cat. Montgomery's ability to weave an entertaining story out of familiar elements is on display in every story.

"Lucy Maud Montgomery Short Stories: 1909 to 1922" is very highly recommended to her fans, who will enjoy reading some of the best work of an accomplished author.

I grew up with all of the Anne-books, and the Emily-books, and when the short stories began to resurface I shamelessly went hunting them in the children's section of the book stores, but there never seemed to be enough of them to satisfy me.

This free (as in beer!) kindle edition of her later short stories is fascinating for the plot and character development; many of the characters and vignettes are incorporated into her novels.

Yes, there are typesetting and OCR errors; you get what you pay for. Download the free kindle app, and then add this to your bookshelf. It's worth it.

You can't go wrong with L. M. Montgomery books, she writes in such a warm, down to earth way and her descriptions of people and places are second to none. I have enjoyed all of her books, expecially the Anne of Green Gables series and all her short stories. Very enjoyable reading.

Lucy Maud Montgomery is one of my favorite authors. I read her works because they describe simple country life, which is a relaxing getaway from the modern noisy world. Short stories are a nice break when you don't want to commit to a novel.

Quite a few of these short stories are really sketches that you will read in great detail in her longer and better known novels such as the 'Anne' series. However, don't let that put you off. There is some very good writing here and considering that this book is being offered for free, any fans of LM Montgomery should certainly not hesitate to put it on their Kindle.

The stories have humour and some sadness and also nostalgia.
They have a bit of everything, that makes one go back for more. I'm still reading these stories and spare them a bit as I don't want to finish them.
I shall be rereading them again, when I come to the end of the book.
