Anne fans, anyone looking for some sweet old fashioned Christmas stories
Aww, how can you not love ANYTHING that involves Anne of Green Gables? if you've read any of her books, you know what to expect, but this is short little nuggets of stories, not all of which involve Anne. The cultural and historical setting of the stories is fascinating, and the tone is so sweet and wholesome, and yet completely unpretentious or preachy that I couldn't put the book down. I read the whole thing in one day. It reminds me of a little box of freshly made cookies. it's hard to stop...more

l. m. montgomery can definitely do better than this. all of these stories were so gag-worthily saccharine.
"'I hope you don't think I'm one of those terrible people who make you feel that you have to talk to them all the time. We'll just talk when we feel like it. I admit I'm likely to feel like it a good part of the time, but you're under no obligation to take any notice of what I'm saying.'"

Every Christmas season I pull this out and read it again. It starts with the famous tale of Anne Shirley receiving her first fashionable dress as a Christmas gift from Matthew. Never fails to make me sniffle. Most of Montgomery's short stories are sweet, predictable and romantic, but full of all the things that Christmas is supposed to be about. Big hearts, family, good food, rich feeding the poor, generosity, winter weather, forgotten feuds and forgiveness etc etc. I love it.

More short stories by the Canadian Queen of Short Stories, Lucy Maud Montgomery. As can be guessed by the title, these all revolve around the Holiday season.
