One of LMM's best collection of short stories
I have read two other collection of LMM's short stories and find this one my favorite. First of all, I like the idea of how the writing of a journal, a letter or an invitation could change a person's life. I don't know if this is still possible in today's world anymore. But it all seems so true to me when I read stories that took place nearly a hundred years ago. I just wish I could live in ...

McClelland & Stewart Ltd, 1995

Delightful stories!
As a girl, I read all of the Anne books, the Emily books, and many of the other books by Lucy Maud Montgomery. As a young woman, I re-read all these books and found more in them than I had ever found in childhood. They are all timeless stories. I found Akin To Anne by accident, and I grabbed it off the shelf. It was as wonderful as I thought it would be. The heartwarming and engaging stories will ...

Poignant tales
"After Many Days" is one of my favourite thematic volumes of LMM's short stories. These stories deal with people who set things "right" after years of misunderstanding or absence. "In the Old Valley" and "Between the Hill and the Valley", both stories of love which survives time and separation, are among my favourite LMM stories out of any collection. There are no surprises in this book - ...

Bt Bound, 1999

Uneven, but has some of the best of Maud's short stories
The problem with putting together a collection of stories thatshare the same theme--in this case, overcoming obstacles--is that thestories tend to blend together and very quickly seem predictable. And, let's face it, LMM does tend to reuse plot elements, making sure, like one of her own thrifty characters, that she's getting all the wear out of her material. Even under these handicaps, however, ...

Fitzhenry & Whiteside Limited, 1999

I would have called it Damourium. I mean....read this! :)
One would think, when picking up an autobiography, that it's time to get out the caffeine, or at least a comfortable chair. But Maud's is different - mostly because she makes her life into a story - a story as interesting and as fun as her beloved Anne of Green Gables or Emily of New Moon. The words and stories of her life make the book one that is impossible to put down...who knows what might ...

Starfire, 1990

It's a wonderful read.
If you love Anne of Greengables and the rest of LM Montgomery's book, you'll love this one too. It's a great book for when you're curled up in your bed and it's cold out. Get it.

Among the Shadows

L. M. Montgomery

Bt Bound, 1999

Excellent Collection of Short Stories
One of the very very few chances to view Lucy Maud Montgomery in a darker light. These tales are all excellent and interesting, as L.M. touches on the supernatural, gothic, and mystery. "The Red Room," is L.M.'s attempt at a gothic story, and her powers of description and story-telling don't let her down. "Some Fools and a Saint," the longest story in the collection, is a truly wonderful ...
