I bought this book while I was in PEI, after seeing some of the places and artifacts that inspired some of the stories in it. I didn't even read the back at the time-- I bought it, packed it up, brought it back to SK, and placed it on my shelf until I had time to read it. When I finally picked it up and read the first page, I quickly discovered that the characters in this book loosely inspired the Road to Avonlea tv show! I had always assumed (incorrectly, I now realize) that the Sullivans had just created the tv characters based on the Green Gables stories. It was fun to read about characters I grew up watching and loving (or hating, depending on the person), and trying to find as many differences as I could based solely on my memory of something I haven't seen in years. I loved this book. I mean, I always enjoy reading Montgomery's writing--it instantly brings me a joy that I actually experienced and understood even more while in PEI. At the very least, this sweet book acted as a lovely reprieve from the more sorrowful books I'd experienced this month and gave my aching heart a break.
