Further Chronicles of Avonlea

Further Chronicles of Avonlea Synopsis

Excerpt from Further Chronicles of Avonlea: Which Have to Do With Many Personalities and Events in and About Avonlea, the Home of the Heroine of Queen Gables

This gift of characterization in a few words is lavished also on material objects, as, for instance; what more is needed to describe the forlornness of the home from which Anne was rescued than the statement that even the trees around it looked like orphans i' The poetic touch, too, never fails in the right place and is never too frequently introduced in her descriptions. They throw a glamor over that Northern land which otherwise you might imagine as rather cold and barren. What charming Springs they must have there! One sees all the fruit-trees clad in bridal garments of pink and white; and what a translucent sky smiles down on the ponds and the reaches of bay and cove!
