Chronicles of Avonlea, by L.M. Montgomery

This is a collection of short stories located in and around Avonlea about different people, sometimes with Anne Shirley making an appearance as a minor character.  Lucy Maud Montgomery again displays her talent for storytelling and characterization.  I found these every bit as enjoyable as the Anne of Green Gables series and pulled it off the bookshelf to revisit about as often as the Anne books.  Of the stories my two favorites are Old Lady Lloyd and The Winning of Lucinda.
