Could he? He could? He would. He knew it would be easy. He had thought it all out many times,

although until now he'd never dreamed of really doing it. To unhook the window and swing it open,

to step out on the pine bough, and from it to another that hung over

the wall and dropped nearly to the ground, to spring from it to the velvet sward under the poplars.

Why, it was all the work of a minute. With a careful, repressed whoop, chimms ran down towards the very handsome cat.

Enter a charming literary world that will tug at your heartstrings, with more short stories by

L.M. Montgomery. Famous author of two send me to sleep favorites, Emily of New Moon and the Blue

Castle, these short stories have been specially selected by myself as those that I feel truly represent the spirit of her work.

The Garden of Spices, about a young and lonely boy, escaping to a forbidden garden, and the romance of Jedediah,

about a middle-aged man visiting his hometown after a long absence, looking for the one he

once loved.
