This is a set of short stories all set along the coast of Prince Edward Island, written with the usual charm of Montgomery's works. Most of the stories are written for older audiences -- there are tales of love lost and love found, family relationships, friendship, and the lure of the sea. These are appropriate for all readers with one caveat -- the last story, "A House Divided Against Itself" uses some language (including the "N" word) that was common when the story was published in 1930, but would be considered inappropriate by today's standards. Highly recommended for fans of Anne of Green Gables, or readers who enjoy stories of the sea with romantic, descriptive prose.
