Book Reviews of The Road to Yesterday (L.M. Montgomery Books)
Book Review: Quite simply the best Montgomery short story collection
Summary: 5 Stars
I gave up reading the Montgomery short story collections (e.g. Akin to Anne) after a while because they were obviously written simply to make money and had little or no literary merit or originality. They were not intended to be published in book form anyway. However 'The Road to Yesterday' was. The stories are well up to Montgomery's standard and are very varied - some romantic, some sad - but all very good. Especially worthy of mention is 'Here Comes the Bride' which very cleverly builds up a story from many different viewpoints. 'Penelope Struts her Theories' has to be read just because of the title.
As another reviewer has noted, the inclusion of the Blythes into every story does seem somewhat forced in parts, but provides a common link which truns the book more into a book rather than just a random selection of stories.
Summary of The Road to Yesterday (L.M. Montgomery Books)
For Anne and Gilbert Blythe, life in a small village is never dull because of all the entertaining gossip, and what strange and funny tales they hear: about the mischievous twins whose dearest wish comes true when they meet up with a bored and haunted millionaire; or clever Penelope Craig, who considers herself an expert on children -- until she adopts a boy of her own; or Timothy Randebush, a man so eager to keep his brother out of the clutches of a dangerous woman that he spirits her away -- only to fall prey to her charms himself. Filled with unexpected surprises, laughter, and tears, here are fourteen of the Blythes' favorite tales.Short Story Collections Books
