description: In this heartwarming collection of nineteen short  stories L.M. Montgomery returns to the enchanting  shores of beautiful Prince Edward Island to tell  about orphans much like Anne of Green Gables --  vulnerable, sensitive, and full of hope and courage.  There's the lonely young girl on a quest for a  real-life mother, a budding artist who dreams of fame  and fortune, and old family quilt that unites two  sisters with a long-lost relative, an ancient  Egyptian doll that invokes an unusual spell for a  little girl yearning for a special friend. L.M.  Montgomery brings to life a magical place and a circle  of characters who will long be treasured and  remembered.
