The boys meet their enchanting cousin Sara Stanly, known to everyone as the Story Girl. The Story Girl has a story for every occasion in this prequel to the Golden Road."--Cover.

so quintessentially montgomery; i missed reading these books.

“And before us was the dream of spring. It is always safe to dream of spring. For it is sure to come; and if it be not just as we have pictured it, it will be infinitely sweeter.”

The definitive paperback editions of L.M. Montgomery's beloved novels get a brand-new look for the next hundred years! Sara Stanley is only fourteen, but she can weave tales that are impossible to resist. In the charming town of Carlisle, children and grown-ups alike flock from miles around to hear her spellbinding tales. And when Bev King and his younger brother Felix arrive for the summer, they, too, are captivated by the Story Girl. Whether she's leading them on exciting misadventures or narrating timeless stories--from the scary "Tale of the Family Ghost" to the fanciful "How Kissing Was Discovered" to the bittersweet "The Blue Chest of Rachel Ward"--the Story Girl has her audience hanging on every word.

“There was something in the fine, elusive air, that recalled beautiful, forgotten things and suggested delicate future hopes. The woods had wrapped fine-woven gossamers about them and the westering hill was crimson and gold.”

As a devoted L.M Montgomery fan, I knew I’d enjoy this book before I even opened it, especially because Road to Avonlea, my favourite tv series, is largely based on the Story Girl duology. And I’m happy to say I ADORED this book. It’s chock full of childhood delight, innocence, and wonder, as it follows the lives of the King family children and their friends as they have small adventures, uncover family secrets, and create a beautiful little world together.

I definitely had a similar feeling reading this book as I do watching RTA, but it also has a uniqueness to it that differentiates it from Sullivan’s tv series. Overall, I had the coziest time with The Story Girl, and I’m excited to read the sequel! 💛✨🍁
