Description
Chronicles of Avonlea is a collection of short stories by L. M. Montgomery, related to the Anne of Green Gables series. It features numerous stories set in the fictional Canadian village of Avonlea and was first published in 1912. Other Avonlea residents from the Anne series are referenced in passing, including Marilla Cuthbert and Mrs. Rachel Lynde. The Penhallows from "The Winning of Lucinda" are mentioned later in Anne of the Island. There are also brief appearances by Diana Barry, the Reverend Mr. Allan, and his wife. The majority of the stories, however, focus on residents of Avonlea who are never mentioned in the Anne novels.
