At the end of a hard day, some of us like our instant gratification. What's better than a short, romantic story with a happy ending? These 23 stories (over 100,000 words, about 290 pages) will fill you with warm happiness and appreciation instantly. Hand selected from the featured author, Lucy Maud Montgomery, who wrote Anne of Green Gables, and who is much like Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott, we picked the very best stories and happiest endings, so you don't have to. The stories should take between 5 min to 30 to read, or longer if you like to read slowly. It's perfect to read before you drift off to sleep. Perfect to read while you're waiting for someone.

In one story, a young lady finds love at first sight by the babbling brook, among thick ferns, under the pines. Another lady discovers her true love through wonderfully written, romantic love letters from a mysterious admirer. In fact, many of the stories involve deliciously written love letters. The stories are full of forests, pines, beaches, oceans, sweet smelling fields, and gazebos. Nature forms the background of these woodsy romances. 10 original hand drawn sketches decorate the inside of this volume.

All of the main characters are essentially very good, lovable humans that overcome obstacles to find their happy ending. More about the stories: Another young lady meets her love in the snowy fields near her home. Another lady reunites with a lost loved one at the horse races. Another lady, in her later years, finally rebels against a domineering sister to be with the man she loves. Appropriate for all ages, with morally conscious characters.

Great for anyone who loves short love stories, romantic stories that take place in the woods, and lovers of historical fiction/romance. This collection will sooth any soul desiring a forest romance or nature romance. This would also be great as a collection of 1800s romance for class or book group.

L. M. Montgomery was also devoutly Christian, and though her work doesn't preach, the main characters have strong moral compasses that exemplify good values for everyone. This delightful collection can also be used for Christian book groups for fun, light reading!
