The Growing Up of Cornelia- (Lucy Maud Montgomery Short Stories, 1907-1908) Excerpt
I decided to only record the charming beginning of this tale of 'tomboy transformation'. I prefer Austen's Lady Susan, as far as epistolary tales go and I'm always sad when tomboys end up conforming!

An Invitation Given on Impulse
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...
