Crônicas de Avonlea in short
Chronicles of Avonlea gathers twelve stories about the people around Anne Shirley's village. A suitor is pushed forward, a proud woman gives in secret, a boy is torn between love and his gift, and two old people wait for beloved girls. Lovers will not speak, a man hater is shut in with her enemy, and a baby is bought at an auction.
What Crônicas de Avonlea is about
What would you do if the man who courts you twice a week had done so for fifteen years and never once asked the question? Theodora Dix simply waits. Then a red-haired visitor named Anne Shirley decides that waiting has gone on long enough.
Chronicles of Avonlea was written by L. M. Montgomery, the Canadian author of Anne of Green Gables. It gathers twelve short stories set in and around Avonlea on Prince Edward Island. You meet shy lovers, a proud old woman with a secret, a boy with a violin, and a baby sold at an auction.
Para quem é. This book suits readers who enjoy warm, funny stories about village neighbors, who like watching stubborn people soften, and who love short tales set among island gardens and sea light.

Anne Plots to Hurry a Slow Suitor
Ludovic Speed walks down the Dix lane twice a week, as he has for fifteen years, and all of Middle Grafton knows why. Theodora Dix waits at the end of it, cheerful and quite ready to marry him. But Ludovic has never asked.
Theodora explains it without a blush. The Speeds are all terribly deliberate and spend years thinking before they act. Anne finds the affair funny and maddening, and she offers a plan. She enlists Arnold Sherman, a handsome widower from Boston who likes a little mischief.
The first act comes after prayer meeting, in bright moonlight, with Ludovic leaning on the graveyard fence. What he sees there shakes him from head to foot. Sometimes love needs a nudge, and a friend with a plan can give it.
