Akin to Anne: Tales of Other Orphans
| Author | L.M. Montgomery |
| ISBN | 0553283871 |
Although I have never enjoyed all of the tales featured in L.M. Montgomery's Akin to Anne equally, I do always love, love, love rereading this collection of sweet and tenderly touching, sometimes perhaps even verging a bit on the maudlin short stories (and often engage in a reread when I am feeling down...
Among the Shadows: Tales from the Darker Side
| Author | L.M. Montgomery |
| ISBN | 0553289594 |
Although Among the Shadows: Tales From the Darker Side ranks amongst my favourite of the Rea Wilmshurt thematic L.M.

| Author | Barbara Pym |
| ISBN | 0330326481 |
This was recommended to me by various bloggers and certainly lived up to their praise. Originally published in 1977, this was Pym’s seventh novel out of nine; she died in 1980. It’s about four London office workers, all sixty-somethings who are partnerless and don’t have, or at least don’t...

Lucy Maud Montgomery Short Stories, 1909-1922
| Author | L.M. Montgomery |
| ISBN | 1437837603 |
Please do note that the two star rating is not in ANY manner, in ANY way meant to be a comment on L.M. Montgomery's fiction, her writing (for the most part, the collected, included stories deserve a four and often even a five star rating), but on the annoyingly and supremely user-unfriendly way in which...
