An Invitation Given on Impulse

from Short Slumbers · host Mel Essy

Celebrated Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery was certainly prolific and although I thought I had read just about everything as a tween, I recently came across her short stories when I was casting about for something to record. The stories are about as charming and of their time as you would expect. I've chosen a handful that I liked best in the first of three volumes and am starting with An Invitation Given on Impulse. Personally, I'm always looking for something to fall asleep to besides ocean or whale sounds. I tend to favour news or politics, but thought that a L.L.M. story might be a bit more soothing and others might feel that way too. Consequently, I decided to warm up my narrative voice and set to work. Please enjoy (even if you do nod off quickly!).
