  <default_description>When twenty-four-year-old Eric Marshall arrives on Prince Edward Island to become a substitute schoolmaster, he has a bright future in his wealthy family's business.  Eric has taken the two-month teaching post only as a favor to a friend -- but fate throws in his path a beautiful, mysterious girl named Kilmeny Gordon.  With jet black hair and sea blue eyes, Kilmeny immediately captures Eric's heart.  But Kilmeny cannot speak, and Eric is concerned for and bewitched by this shy, sensitive mute girl.  For the first time in his life Eric must work hard for something he wants badly.  And there is nothing he wants more than for Kilmeny to retum his love.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[A lovely story by LM Montgomery. Totally different than ANY of the &quot;Anne's&quot; but a delightful read and an excellent ending. I love all the descriptive writing that is LM's style and can't wait to give this one to Violet in about 3 years or so :) A must read if you are inclined towards LM Mo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76843114">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Kilmeny of the Orchard is the shortest of Montgomery's novels, and I would assert that it was the hardest to read through.
