I've been a fan of L.M. Montgomery for years. I love her Anne of Green Gables books and when I found this book, I knew I had to have it. I enjoyed the ease of reading it. I could read a few pages and the story was complete. One could read each segment/short story, and lay it down till the next day. Each of the short entries is interesting and exciting. Montgomery is a marvel.ous captivation writer
