Montgomery's engaging storytelling and memorable characters continue to capture the imaginations of readers of all ages.We enjoyed our walk--even Felix enjoyed it, although he had been appointed to write up the visit for Our Magazine and was rather weighed down by the responsibility of it.

We walked the golden road and carried spring time in our hearts, and we beguiled our way with laughter and jest, and the tales the Story Girl told us--myths and legends of elder time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
